Priyanshu Painyuli plays a journalist in the murder mystery
I’ve manifested this,” smiles Priyanshu Painyuli, who has realised his dream of working with Vishal Bhardwaj, thanks to Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of Solang Valley. Four years ago, he was set to lead Bhardwaj’s Midnight’s Children, but the project was shelved. The actor, however, was optimistic that some day, he will get the chance to collaborate with the filmmaker. And his belief has paid off.
Being on a Bhardwaj set, Painyuli says, felt like an exciting match as the duo built his journalist character Sitaram Bisht. “Vishal sir ropes you in with the confidence that you know your craft; he wants to see what you bring to the table. Every day was like playing a new match with him, as I improvised the scenes, and he had fun seeing that. My approach to acting has changed after working with him.” The actor has a newfound admiration for the auteur’s keen eye for details. “[He taught me how small things like] keeping a glass on the table after sipping water can also be dramatic.”
