Be it the shy Robin in Mirzapur 2 or a supportive husband in Rashmi Rocket or an evil drug lord in the Chris Hemsworth-starrer Extraction, the actor has left an impact on audiences.
He is currently super excited about his collaboration with Vishal Bhardwaj on his new show Charlie Chopra & The Mystery of Solang Valley.
“Doing Extraction made me feel like, ‘Oh, now I have people who know me in different countries.’ I get fan messages from Spain, Mexico and the US. I got stopped at immigration and asked, ‘Are you that Amir Asif (from Extraction)? I had not expected that so early in my career, but that’s what OTT does,”” He’s got so much happening in his head, but has this calm and soothing personality.”
How did you get on board for Charlie Chopra?
Getting the opportunity to work with Vishal Bhardwaj sir was a dream come true moment for me.
I have been watching his movies since my school and college days.
When I started acting in theatre, I thought if I get to work with him, that would be great.
He is like a one man army, with the kind of writing, music and everything that he does. This is an Agatha Christie adaptation, and I am sharing screen space with this wonderful ensemble of Naseer (Naseeruddin Shah) sir, Ratna (Pathak Shah) ma’am, Neena (Gupta) ma’am, Gulshan Grover sir, Lara Dutta, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Paoli Dam, Wamiqa (Gabbi).
I play Sitaram Bisht, who is so colourful. There are so many shades to him.
Were you nervous about working alongside such legendary actors?
You feel nervous on Day One or Two.
