Actor portraying the character of Uzair Baloch in a project
“An actor’s job is not to judge the character’s actions. For Uzair Baloch, arms and ammunition trading and extortion are daily activities. If I, as Danish, keep Uzair outside of me and judge him, I can never play the part. Mera kaam hai acting karna. If I start judging, I will never be able to do justice to the role. If Uzair Baloch is in front of me and I judge him for his ethics, there will be mental and physical conflict. I had a third-party perspective and understood that this is a part of his job. I have to just include myself in that. I believe he had an amazing aura. If you see his interviews, what a sharp man. The way he would carry his words, without hesitation and inhibition. Even during the workshop, Aditya (Dhar, director) sir told us not to do anything over-the-top. It had to be subtle and feel like everything is coming with a thought. Every word that comes is on point. He wanted us to have clear thoughts and understand the motive behind every scene. He gave us breathing space and creative liberty to perform, and an actor always wants that.”
