Can your excellence in a profession work against you? Apparently, it can. Sumeet Vyas is learning this, thanks to an amusing turn of events. The actor, who made his directorial debut with Raat Jawan Hai (2024), says a lot has changed for him in the industry after the series. And not necessarily in a manner he wanted.
“Directing that show was fulfilling. But now, people think I don’t want to act,” he exclaims. “I want to act. Direction is something I got and did, but I am still an actor. Now, I get scripts to direct. I have come across some nice scripts, but unless something is coming from a personal space, I don’t want to direct for the heck of it,” he says.
