My Role in ‘Right yaaa Wrong’ will put me in the map as an actor to reckon with      - Arav Chowdhary

Former Mr. India 1999 and nowadays the actor who is in news for the steamy hot scene with Isha Koppikkar in Subash Ghai’s this Friday knock at the B.O. in the voice of a drama with the elements of a thriller titled ‘Wright Yaa Wrong’ , Arav Chowdhary in a brief chat with Jyothi Venkatesh tells that he is lucky to be part of bollywood’s modern showman Subash Ghai’s project, he is also confident that ‘Right Yaaa Wrong’ will be instrumental in labeling him as an actor with talent.

Q: Is it true that you did not take up even a single project as long as you were working in Right Yaaa Wrong?
A: For the past three years ever since Right Yaaa Wrong was launched, I chose not to do even a single frame of any thing, though in the past I had acted in films like Dhoom 1, Lakshya, The Perfect Husband,Family, No Smoking,The Deadly Disciple and 88 Antop Hill, for the simple reason that I have had this courage of conviction that this film will work wonders as far as my career is concerned.

Q: What is your role in the film?
A: I play the role of Sanjay, an NRI who comes from USA and settles down in Goa. I will be seen in Right Yaaa Wrong right from the first frame till the last. You can say that I play the role of the guy next door, who is in love with Isha Koppikkar. Without giving away the story, all that I can say about my character is that how all the other characters in the film, specially the character that Sunny Deol plays set out to manipulate to  put me and Isha Koppikkar in trouble is what the crux of the film is all about.

Q: How was the experience of doing the passionate love making scenes with Isha Koppikkar?
A: I found Isha very easy going and we shared quite a good camaraderie on the sets. She is quite a professional actress. Though there are quite a few hot scenes in the film, where we roll on top of each other half naked and passionately kissing each other, both on the bath tub and on the bed, the scenes cannot be deleted because they are inherent part of the script.

Q: How confident are you about making an impact with your role in the film?
A: I have absolutely no doubt that my role in Right Yaaa Wrong will put me in the map as an actor to reckon with. It is a bold subject, which is on par with any International film with a fast pace and a lot of twists and turns. Whether what Isha and I do in the film or for that matter Sunny Deol and Irffan Khan do in the film is intentional or for that matter unintentional, or right or wrong, is for the audience to decide.

Q: What else before Rright yaa Wrong’ happened?
A: Though I won the crown of Mr India way back in 1999 and have walked the ramp for Provogue, Muzafar and Meera Ali, Araya etc and have appeared in countless ad campaigns as a model, I hail from Jaipur and am basically from theatre. Both Irrfan and I have done theatre in Jaipur at the Ravindra Manch. I have acted in the play Dil Ka Haal Sune Dilwala, directed by Nikhilesh and an adaptation of The Westside Story. It had twelve songs sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Sapna Awasthi.
I had also done TV serials like Captain Vyom for Ketan Mehta and Dil Na Jaane Kyon for Zee TV, I’d like to call myself more as a model, who has also done a lot of music videos. I cherish the experience of having done quite a few ads for acclaimed directors like Shekhar Kapoor, Prahlad Kakkar, Kailas Surendranath, Kunal Kapoor, Shantanu Sheorey etc for products like Zodiac, Vimal, Old Spice, VIP Briefs and Suitcases.

Q: What kind of roles do you seek as an actor, after Right Yaaa Wrong?
A: I aim at anything that gives me exposure and is good stuff to get my teeth into it as an actor. In today’s times, there are only script driven roles and there is nothing as such which can just be termed as negative or positive roles. I am a trained actor. I dance well and am in good shape and as such I am game to do whatever role is offered to me, whether it is out and out black or out and out white. I am self taught. Though I did not learn from any acting guru, my stint as an actor in theatre has stood me in goods stead. I have to my credit five years of theatre with various groups. It made my foundation as an actor. I am an actor. I am no star son and hence have to work on my own steam to survive as an actor in the industry. I am game for whatever cinema I am called upon to do as long as I get good work.

Q: Is there any other film up your sleeves after Right Yaaa Wrong?
A: I have one more film called Season’s Greetings in which I play a super rich, successful and also good looking dude, with whom Tabu is obsessed to the point of no return, so much so that Tabu makes it a point to even keep my pictures in her desktop as screen saver. Tabu and I are in a relationship which turns sour in the film. Season’s greetings is a romantic comedy which has multiple tracks, with actors like Shreyas Talpade, Sohail Khan, Ashish Choudhary, Javed Jafferey, Saurabh Shukla, Vatsal Seth, Raima Sen and Ria Sen and has a story which happens in two days.
