Adhyayan Suman: “It’s very easy to call anyone and remove me from a project”

Adhyayan spoke about how his dad; Shekhar Suman’s show sabotaged his entire career. He told Hindustan Times, “I did not get a lot of films because of a show that my father did — Movers and Shakers. Though he was given a script for every episode, there were a few people who got offended because of what he said and held grudges that ‘Shekhar ne humaare baare mein kaise baat kari’. There was neither any personal attacks nor he used any abusive language. He just did his job and it was just a show. But their egos were very fragile perhaps, and they took it personally. And thought ki iska badla iske bete par nikaalenge.”

Adhyayan also shared how industry people had thrown him out of several projects, “I was approached for a project with a massive superstar as the lead and I was supposed to play the antagonist. Everything, including money, was discussed and I was expecting a call to discuss clauses for my contract. But suddenly, they backed off. I asked them what the problem was or what changed because it’s very easy to call anyone and remove me from a project. Anybody could pick up a call and say, ‘Isko mat lo film mein’. I have seen that happening to me. There was a producer, who in front of me called another producer and said, ‘Hum Adhyayan ko cast karne ki soch rahe hain’ and the person replied, ‘Isko mat lo, he is not punctual, he does drugs’ and all that stuff.”

Talking about his heart-breaking incident, Adhyayan said, “When my mother got to know about the fact that I have got such a good film, she, who had been waiting for all these years to see her son doing well in career, broke down. She cried. But after two hours, that opportunity was snatched away. Please tell me how I would feel,” he questions, and asks, “An actor struggles to get that one break or big opportunity but you take it away from him. Do you realise how heart-breaking it is?”

Furthermore, he believed that telling the truth makes little sense for those extraordinarily successful people like Priyanka Chopra. He said, “People here are very quick when it comes to judging others. They would say things like, ‘Uska toh career pehle hi barbaad hai, uska career kaun sabotage karega’. There was no point talking about those things and hence I never did it,” he concluded.

Adhyayan Suman made his Bollywood debut in 2008 with the film Haal-e-Dil. He later appeared in several other films such as Raaz: The Mystery Continues among others.
