Chunky Pandey
Be it 'Akhri Pasta' in 'Housefull' or Munnu in 'Aankhen', Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey has always made us laugh with his funny antics. Known for his comic timing and a great sense of style, the actor is now playing a negative character in his upcoming film 'Bullett Raja'. In an exclusive interview with TOI, he talks about his journey in B-Town, upcoming films and his bond with Khans...
Negative character in Bullet Raja: This is the first time that I am playing negative character in my life. My character Lallan Tiwari is basically a villain but at the same time he is also a very positive person. The funny thing is he keeps on dying several times but thanks to the director, he comes back to life to fight the good guys. He is a quirky, gutka chewing character which has been put to life beautifully by director Tigmanshu Dhulia.
Sex comedies are in: I am also playing a unique role in Disco Valley. It is basically a sex comedy that is set against the end of the world. I play this retired deejay who wants to end the world in his own way. We are targeting an audience between the age group of 18 and 25 as audience is becoming more receptive to sex comedies. The success of Grand Masti proves that Indian audience is becoming more mature. In fact Disco Valley is the younger version of Grand Masti.
Saif and Akshay are both great co-stars: I have worked with both Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar and share a great bond with both these actors. They are both supportive, have a great comic timing and are flexible. They are game to any last-minute changes that come during filmmaking.
SRK is friend, Salman Khan is family: While Shah Rukh Khan is a close friend who I meet with great affection, Salman is family. Both are very dear to me. However, it is Sajid who is my most favourite Khan. It is my role in Sajid's Housefull that has made me a household name.
Would love to be a part of Aankhen sequel: It is high time that a movie as popular as Aankhen should have a sequel. I know that Pahlaj Nihalani is working on a script and I sincerely hope that I am a part of that movie with Govinda
