At Filmibeat, we love interacting with talented artists who are passionate about their craft. As I caught up with Swaroopa Ghosh, we had a detailed chat about Diwali and Kali Pujo celebrations, work, and a lot more.
In an exclusive conversation with Filmibeat Assistant Editor Abhishek Ranjit, Swaroopa got candid about her upcoming projects and how she respected her co-stars like Irrfan Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sunny Deol and Deepika Padukone.
Who Is Swaroopa Ghosh’s Favourite Co-star?
The veteran actress was quick enough to say that she respects all her co-stars when asked about her favourite one.
“I really cannot answer the question, and I’m not being political or trying to be politically correct in any way. Most of my co-stars I’ve worked with, whether it’s Deepika, Irrfan, Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpayee or anyone else, have all been wonderful, and I really respect them and the kind of work they do,” Ghosh said.
She mentioned how she loved Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda’s performance. “Whether it’s Randeep Hooda or Sunny Deol, I have seen them perform in front of my eyes, and I have nothing but respect for all of them. While they were doing what they were doing in the film, I found them to be the best,” the Jaat actress quipped.
Swaroopa mentioned that it’s difficult to say who is her best co-actor till date.
“People have their preferences when it comes to certain actors, and that’s a different thing. I, too, have actors I particularly like. But as co-stars, whoever I have seen and worked with has been very good not just as actors, but as people too. I’ve enjoyed working with them. They have always been very respectful and helpful, and have never misbehaved. Up until now, I haven’t met anybody about whom I can say, “Oh, I really don’t want to work with this person ever again.” No, that has never happened. So, I really can’t say,” Ghosh added.
What’s Next For Swaroopa Ghosh?
“I’m supposed to do a play, Gulkand, for which we’ve already had a show. There are discussions going on with another director of mine, with whom I worked in Delhi this year. I did a play called Harvest. He’s planning to do Mother Courage, so I might be a part of that,” Swaroopa said when asked about her upcoming projects.
“As for web series or films, I don’t have anything confirmed. My last film that released this year in theaters was Last Man in the Tower. I’m presently dubbing for another project, which is supposed to be on Amazon Prime. It’s called Anarth. It’s a horror series, but very well made. So, those are the two projects. Nothing has come up yet that I can say, “Oh, I’m going to do this now.” There are talks going on, but nothing is confirmed,” she added.
“Right now, there’s not much work happening, or maybe I don’t know, or perhaps they don’t have something suitable for me. There’s another project that’s supposed to be released, but I don’t know when. That’s Sudhir Mishra’s Children of Freedom. I still don’t know when it’s going to be released,” the Vicky Donor actress concluded.
