BSimhaa looks super excited about his next film Ko 2, which hits screens this Friday. “Ko-2 is a political thriller. But let me make it clear to you that we are not forcing any message on to the audiences. Ko-2 , at best, will be an eye-opener that will make people aware of certain important issues,” he explains.
The actor cannot stop gushing about director Sarath, and his co-star Nikki Galrani. “Sarath is a brilliant filmmaker, and Nikki is a thorough professional. Sarath was very clear in what he wanted and was precise while shooting sequences,” says the actor, who plays a journalist in the film.
Ask Bobby Simhaa to pick three biggest strengths of his film and instantly, Simhaa says, “First, it is the production house RS Infotainment. They had the courage to pick such a bold script and the conviction to back it thoroughly. The challenge they would have had to face is exceptional considering that this film is the sequel to a film that has been extremely successful.”
“The next biggest strength of this film is the director Sarath and the third would be actor Prakash Raj,” says Bobby Simhaa. “I think I would call him an acting school. There is so much that you can learn from him.”
The film, Bobby says, is special because of what it has taught him. “I have learnt several new things while working on this project. For instance, I have learnt dancing. Then, I got the opportunity to share screen space with legends like Prakash Raj. All of these have helped me pick up several small but valuable tools in acting.”
On sharing the screen space with someone like Prakash Raj. “To give you an idea of how rewarding the experience was and how swiftly we worked, let me tell you of a particular sequence. It happens in a tunnel and involves Prakash Raj sir and me. We built a set to shoot it. Almost 22 scenes were supposed to be shot over eight days. However, working with him was such a delight that we finished the entire sequence in just three-and-a-half days,” says Bobby, who believes that he has done justice to the role of a journalist.
“You (mediapersons) are the people who appreciate when something is done right and you question the wrong. I think I have done justice to this character,” he smiles.
