Chasing characters, not solo lead rolls: Yami Gautam on Career Options
Actor Yami Gautam spoke in an interview with India Today Digital, making an interesting career option and meeting directors, who were ready to do ‘anti-competing’. She also commented on the role of her PR and now how she looks at her career.
Actor Yami Gautam, known for his diverse and influential roles, opened the idea process behind his career options. In a special interview with India Today Digital, he emphasized that he has always given priority to playing challenging characters on the idea of being a single lead in a film.
The 36 -year -old shared that his choice of selecting films has changed in years. “Of course, this is. When you are on a certain path, where you are too much on your own, you have to find out why you want to be a part of the industry. What is this that you bring the table? He said.
The actor reflected how perceptions about people’s abilities often shape the opportunities that come in his way. “I just want to be a part of movies or work that departs me from the image that I have. People often think,” Oh, this is what we think you are capable of. “Unfortunately, unfortunately, the nature of our business is such that the decisions on my casting depend on someone’s attitude what a good or bad acting, or how suitable I am, I know that I fully do a part of a part. I can, but for various reasons, there can be someone else, don’t think that no more, what will happen, “he said.

Yami’s transformative journey was particularly visible in 2019 with Uri: The Surgical Strike and her standout roles in Bala. While the industry managed to act as an artist capable of serious roles, Bala surprised many people, showing his comic time.
He explained, “So, Bit bit bit, film by film, I was only chasing characters. I thought, ‘I don’t know, this business is a single lead or is it or what, who chases me the characters” I think 2019, especially Uri and of course with Bala, had the beginning of this phase of how people used to see me as an artist. There is no complaint. Thought, but let me do this because it is a trend, or because someone advised me ‘.
He said, “I take suggestions from everyone, but I only do what comes from my heart. And this is what I am trying to do. I understand my audience, and I give them great importance. I am just looking for different stories.
The actor also opened about the pressure to get away from the image that people made for him. “Whatever causes a disruption is not easily. It is a lot of ‘IFS’ and ‘Butt’, a lot of doubt and concern. But at the end of the day, I have to tell myself, ‘ This is the occasion.
Yami also recalled people who advised her casting in Bala. He said, “Of course, anyone can explain a character in his own way, but for example, when Bala was casting, I remember that many people came to me after the success of the film, ‘We suggested that Do not casting you because you don’t come as a fun person. How to do Yami comedy? ‘But what I did in Bala was very happy. He said, “You are good in serious roles, or asphalt-in-distress characters.”
Yami further praised the directors who believe in breaking the casting stereotypes, citing examples of directors such as Bala’s Amar Kaushik and Uri’s Aditya Dhar, who put the actors in the roles that defood expectations. “I think one of the best written scripts was Bala. I am happy that Amar (Kaushik) and Dinu (Dinesh Vijan) took that call. Even Aditya (Dhar) a lot of casting Does, where he will cast you, no one would have imagined what happened to Vicky (Kaushal) in Uri.
The actor said, “While 10 people cannot see you in the way you want them, it only takes a person’s confidence to take a chance to you. Everything else for the universe.”
For the passion of the industry with PR-operated stories, Yami strongly rejected the idea of relying on people’s opinion. “There was no PR plug from me. I was going through some comments, and they were as they were, ‘This is paid’. No, I don’t have to do so. I have a PR team, but we Dawn ‘T do those things.
Yami will soon be seen in Dhum Dham with Pratik Gandhi. The film is scheduled to release on Netflix on 14 February.
