Kay Kay Menon; for any Hindi movie goers, this name brings in some expectations upon hearing. This talented actor can play any kind of character, comic or serious, with great ease. He may not have any big block buster to his credit but his performance has always been praised by critics and film goers. In Samar Khan’s second movie, Shaurya, Kay Kay played the character of an army person, Brigadier Rudra Pratap Singh. With One India he shares his experience of the movie. Here is an excerpt of the interview:
Q.: What does Shaurya mean to you?
A.: At first I would like to make clear that for me Shaurya and Veerta are two different things. "Shaurya" is in raising voice against wrong deeds when no one is ready to support you. But in this film that particular word has different meanings for different characters.
Q.: What's about your character in Shaurya?
A.: I am playing a brigadier in the film. He is known as Rudra Pratap Singh. He has some personal values and he has faith in those values only.
Q.: The film is based on army. What do you feel is the most interesting part of the film?
A.: The best thing is that whatever is told in the film is based on reality. Everything including uniform, behaviour and mannerism are very realistic.
Q.: How did you prepare yourself for your character?
A.: I don't do much of research. I believe in the story and prepare my character based on the story. I have always seen that whenever we start researching with characters, we end up coming with some fixed mannerism. And that's even opposite to the character. I don't even think of doing the film which doesn't offer me any good character.
Q.: Have you ever done anything in your life that has become Shaurya for you?
A.: I don't remember anything like that because I think it builds ego in you. So better you forget that as it helps living a better life.
While shooting for the movie in Manali Kay Kay learned playing golf. When asked about his image as a serious actor he said that it is the other way round. He is not a serious person, rather takes his characters seriously. He believes that pretty soon the serious tag will be removed from him.
