Sony SAB’s sci-fi fantasy show Hero Gayab Mode On recently witnessed a new twist with Guru Bhai aka Krrip Kapur Suri’s entry. The young and talented actor, who enthralled the audience in shows like Sadda Haq, Savitri, and Kalash, has donned the avatar of an antagonist for the above-mentioned daily.
In an exclusive conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Krrip spoke in length about his new character, the upcoming twist in the show and working experience with lead actors Veer and Shivaay aka Abhishek Nigam and Siddharth Nigam respectively. Read on:
Tell us about your experience shooting for your new show Hero?
It’s been incredible. The character I am essaying is Guru Bha, who is a very cruel person that goes on to take advantage of the alien attack that happened on earth. He does not care about humanity if the purpose of his greed is served. Other than that, I was excited to collaborate with Sony SAB and the show’s cast and crew as I have heard good things about them and was really looking forward to working with them. Currently, the shoot for the show is on which makes me feel very lucky that even at this difficult time, I have work for which I am grateful to God.
What made you select this show and character?
Whenever I pick a role, I look at the intensity of the character. The character of Guru Bhai is intense which makes it more interesting for me to play. I always believe playing negative characters requires a little more effort as we must work more on our expressions, body language, and other traits. I take up roles that are challenging to me and that enhance my acting ability. Playing a character that is the exact opposite of you is not only a task but exciting as well.
What audiences can look forward to in the coming episode?
In the upcoming episodes, viewers will witness the first big challenge which Veer will face in his journey of becoming a superhero. Despite having no superpower, Guru Bhai will be a strong antagonist in front of Veer, and bringing him down is going to be quite a task because he is always two steps ahead. Guru Bhai will be the next big challenge in front of Veer and the trick to defeating him will be taught by Shivaay as his next learning.
What do you enjoy playing: a negative or positive role?
It’s not about the shade, whenever I pick up a role, I look at its relevancy in the story and the show. As an actor, it’s important for me to see how challenged I am to play a part, be it positive or negative.
How was your working experience with the two young actors Abhishek and Siddharth Nigam?
Abhishek and Siddharth Nigam are full of energy. Even as human beings both are very sweet and humble, always there to help you. Working with them is a great experience, they are two brothers who are extremely professional and always give their 200 percent to their performances.
Any final message!
I would like to tell the fans to stay safe. Keep sanitizing your hands. Do not forget to wear masks and maintain social distancing. Keep showering me and the show with your love as you have been always doing.
Good luck Krrip!
