Sunil Grover: I enjoy entering someone else's mindset as an actor

Sunil Grover, who stars in the crime comedy drama series “Sunflower”, says he is grateful to filmmakers who envision him beyond his familiar avatar of a comedian. “It is totally in the hands of makers as to what role they offer. I am known as a comedian and people have enjoyed my comic avatar for the longest. I was offered a negative character in “Tandav” and credit for that goes to (series creator) Ali Abbas Zafar. He envisioned me differently and all I had to do was act. I was nervous doing the role, but eventually people appreciated my role. Now my role in ‘Sunflower’ is totally different — he has a lot of innocence,” says Sunil.

He continues: “As an artiste, I enjoy portraying different kinds of roles every time. To enter a different psyche with each role is exciting. I am not at all comfortable with myself, so I enjoy entering someone else’s mindset and living his life. As an actor, you crave for it, you enjoy it. I just love it.”
