Utkarsh Sharma On Co-Stars Nana Patekar, Sunny Deol And Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Recently, we got on a telephonic conversation with Utkarsh Sharma, where he talked about his upcoming film Vanvas, his acting journey, and inspirations! On being asked about his biggest takeaways from working with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sunny Deol, and now Nana Patekar in Vanvas, here’s what he said! “See, I was very fortunate to work with all these actors. All of them are unique actors and have different voices. But one thing I found common in all of them was how professional they were. They never treated me like a junior. Sunny sir, Nawaz sir and Nana sir—all three of them gave me the opportunity to share my ideas with them. They motivated me, and that is why they are legends. Because they understand the process that ultimately a film is made with the efforts of all actors and technicians. If there is a slight lacking, it shows in the film as nothing hides in front of the camera. So, I was very fortunate that the three of them pushed me, and they also gave me creative freedom.”

Furthermore, he also shared an incident where Nana Patekar asked him about his ideas during the shoot of Vanvaas. Utkarsh Sharma was shocked, as even though Nana Patekar was a senior, he was willing to listen to his junior’s ideas. For the unversed, Vanvaas will be released on December 20.
