New Delhi: Shatrugan Sinha’s son Luv Sinha made his debut with the movie Sadiyaan in 2010 followed by the superhit movie Paltan. Despite the success of the movie, the Sinha Junior is not in a hurry to sign a flurry of movies.
When asked if being selective about picking scripts was a conscious move, he said, “I wouldn’t say not taking up more films was conscious. What happened initially was there was a perception. Again, I’m not the first actor whose debut film didn’t work. What happens is the way you’re projected as well as the box-office fate of a film, they make a difference. It took a while for me to break that perception.” says Luv.
Despite coming from a filmy background, the actor was on his own as far as carving his identity in the film industry goes.
Paltan was a war drama which got him noticed as a serious actor, according to Sinha.
“That film changed things a bit. After that, I’ve been meeting people and working towards lining up the right project. I think it should all fall into place soon. Last year, things were supposed to start again, but we all got thrown off track. I wouldn’t call my journey easy, even though I belong to one of the known film families, it’s not been easy for me,” admits the actor.
Luv Sinha has already signed an exciting project and will be signing a few more. He adds that his connections never helped him in his film career. “I have done it all on my own, and never asked my father to call anyone or put in a word for me anywhere,” he says.
Luv also has the kind of roles he wants to do in the future in mind. “The thing with me is that I’d want to play a character like Shah Rukh Khan played in Baazigar (1993), or something like Emraan Hashmi in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010). Even a film like War (2019), a spy drama thriller or a courtroom drama. These roles, I believe, will be good opportunities to prove myself, that’s what I’m working towards right now,” Sinha signs off.
