In conversation with Rohit Khilnani at the Style Icon panel, Pulkit Samrat, Radhikka Madan and Ali Fazal open up about their careers, upcoming projects, the changing entertainment industry and the pressures that come with being an actor today.
Ali Fazal discusses his upcoming film Raakh, the process of physically transforming himself for a role and the discipline involved in gaining or losing weight for a character. He also talks about how finding the right role has become more important than simply taking up every opportunity, and the growing pressure around social media and maintaining a presence as an actor.
Radhikka Madan talks about Subedaar, which was initially planned as a theatrical release before moving to OTT, and the challenges actors face in the current landscape. She opens up about the pressure she feels as an outsider to make every project count, keeping her personal and romantic life away from public discussion, and why she believes in protecting it from unnecessary attention. Radhikka also talks about her relationship with AI and how she uses ChatGPT in her everyday life.
Pulkit Samrat discusses his preparation for Glory, including the physical and athletic training that went into the role. He reflects on how good work can make you want to challenge yourself further, his approach to success and failure, and the increasing influence of social media following in casting. He also talks about the changing standards around auditions and casting, the inconsistencies he sees in the industry and why AI should be treated as a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity.
