Probably the kind of launch pads that most actors these days are used to are the usual run-of-the-mill romcoms. And so,aiming to provide a refreshing change from the same is debutant actor Ishan Manhas’ film Aashiqui.in. Manhas,who was in town for the promotion of the film says that the film is one that college goers and younger audiences will relate to instantly given the fact that it revolves around the lives of students.
Manhas,who hails from Delhi,and is a pass-out from Kishore Namit Kapoors acting institute,says that he fit into the role easily as he himself used to be a swimming buff in his college days. It was easy performing the role of Cyrus who is a swimming champion as I identified with the role instantly. The rest also flowed in easily as acting was something that came to me naturally, he quips.
Unable to identify with the regular jarred heaviness associated with melodrama in acting Manhas feels that for a movie to become successful,various factors go into it. He says,The cast,the crew,the script and the way the movie is handled – all these elements help make a good film. In fact,Bollywood is one such platform that helps actors and technicians,to learn and understand what to overlook.
