The story first comes for Saurabh. The actor on Mumbai’s phone says, “Then you decide what is the participation of a certain character within that limit.” “While I am acting, I do not build a script. When you prepare a character you try and understand what is being said and then bring it to your experience and thought about it.”

Saurabh has acted in many plays, including Heywadan, Hindi version of Girish Karnad Havadana “Customization is better than translation, because in an adaptation, you modify a story according to Milliu, and culture.

The actor, who is known for his excellent comic timing, says, “Humor is not about laughing at others, but when you can laugh at yourself. When you are in pain, what you need the most, to be happy and laugh.
When someone’s history is unstable, Saurabh says, humor becomes a part of the person. “You can’t keep crying all the time. You need to learn to laugh, it becomes a defense mechanism. Humor is an important part of any characterization – it does not need to be comic, but the feeling of humor is definitely there.”
The irony is that some of the best comedians were the most tragic people. “I don’t think humor has failed them. Instead I believe that humor has opened more layers. A lot of knowledge also brings sadness. It brings awareness about what is happening. If you are unaware of things, you live happily. If you get knowledge, if you get knowledge, more intelligent and a purchasing part that you raise.
What was interesting about the characters played by Charlie Chaplin according to Saurabh is that when the character passes through the saddest potential things, he is unaware of pain and keeps on walking. “It gives you positive energy. A film has a scene where he eats a shoe. It’s a sad moment, but the character is so positive that he is unaware of that pain, and it gives him the courage to pass.”

In Life and death of Peter SellersYou find out how sad he was with the character. He made a film Going thereWhere he plays the role of a gardener. It is considered one of the most beautiful films that he has ever made and yet the film flopped badly. He was so heartbroken and could never recover from him. ,

Accepting a role, Saurabh says, a process. “I understand the functions of the character and understand why he is behaving in a special way. This understanding comes only from your knowledge banks, your life experiences.”
If someone is playing the role of a killer, Saurabh says, no one can tap in a living experience. “Instead, you go into those moments of anger or moments when you have thought of murder, but have not acted on it. For the screen, you use that seed to make one action.”

Humor, Saurabh says that he asks for acceptance. “You are not in denying. Love, hatred, anger, jealousy, indigestion are all natural feelings and you need to accept this truth.”
Barf came About, Saurabh says, someone told him. “The described situation fascinated me and I decided to write a story. It was not a philosopher but a physical condition. Malevolent Is structured as a thriller. It is a seat-off-the-sit drama. It took me about six to seven years to write MalevolentThe play has different layers that were not initially, but developed in telling. It is an unknown journey that leads to many other discoveries. This is a journey that changes you, an experience that you change as a person. Malevolent The first was written as a film and then adapted to the stage. I would like to make it one day in a film. ,
