Wish fulfilled! Arjun Mathur to share the screen space with Manoj Bajpayee in a digital film, Silence

Last seen in The Gone Game, Arjun Mathur begins shooting for a digital film, Silence, from December 12. Written and directed by Aban Bharucha Deohans, the suspense thriller stars Manoj Bajpayee. As Mathur was waiting for an opportunity to work with the veteran actor, he can’t wait to kickstart the film. Prachi Desai and Sahil Vaid are also part of the cast.

In case you missed it, Arjun Mathur was nominated for an International Emmy Award at the upcoming 2020 edition of the global gala, but he insists he does not feel like a star. Arjun makes the cut in the Best Performance By An Actor list for his role of the gay wedding planner Karan Mehra in the web series Made In Heaven.

In a media interaction with IANS, Arjun shared, “The first thing I did was not believe it, stare at my phone screen for a good five to 10 minutes. I kept on looking for some way to confirm if it was real or if I was dreaming. Then I messaged my family. The first phone call I made was to (series co-creator) Zoya (Akhtar). I haven’t yet had the chance to celebrate the news as such.”

“I try to not think a character as straight or gay. You don’t have to think about that in every scene you perform because your mannerisms and behaviour don’t have too much to do with your sexual preference,” the actor further added.
