‘I want people to say that he’s a great actor.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

While most star kids prepare early on to enter the movies films, for Meezaan<\/strong>— Jaaved Jaffrey<\/strong>‘s son and the late Jagdeep<\/strong>‘s grandson, acting was a distant possibility.<\/p>\n

Despite his family’s film background, Meezaan was more into sports and music. Things changed when he was spotted by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who decided to launch him as actor.<\/p>\n

In 2019, he made his acting debut in Bhansali’s production Malaal<\/em> after previously assisting the film-maker on his two ambitious projects, Bajirao Mastani<\/em> (2015) and Padmaavat<\/em> (2018). Following his star-making turn, Meezaan was determined to carve his identity as an actor.<\/p>\n

Ahead of his third outing Yaariyan 2<\/em>, the actor says he was drawn to the project due to its grand scale.<\/p>\n

“The decisions that I take in my career and life are heavily influenced by my parents because they teach me from their mistakes,” Meezaan tells Mayur Sanap\/Rediff.com<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Malaal<\/em> was an intense love story. Then you moved to comedy with Hungama 2<\/em>. Now, Yaariyan 2<\/em> is this light-hearted relationship drama. Are you consciously attempting genres that the mainstream audience likes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s happens to be a coincidence.<\/p>\n

But I think that gives me an opportunity to showcase my versatility as an actor. It also teaches me to be a better actor, and I’m growing with every film.<\/p>\n

At the same time, I’m open to doing any genre.<\/p>\n

I want people to say that he’s a great actor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did Yaariyan 2<\/em> come to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bhushanji<\/em> (Kumar, T-Series CEO<\/em>) offered me the film. The way he explained the level of the film and the way they’re going to be presenting and mounting it, really brought me towards it.<\/p>\n

Then, of course, I sat with the directors and spoke to them. They told me about the character and the world of the film.<\/p>\n

I got very excited because this is something I’ve never done before.<\/p>\n

I keep experimenting.<\/p>\n

I keep doing new stuff to give to the audience, and this felt like another opportunity.<\/p>\n

Just the kind of promotions we are doing for the film is so grand in scale… I’m so excited.<\/p>\n

Your character in the film can go to any extent to help his buddies. How would you describe yourself as a friend in real life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I completely relate with the way Shikhar (his character’s name<\/em>) goes out of his way to do anything for his family and friends.<\/p>\n

But apart from that, Shikhar is very different from the way I am in real life.<\/p>\n

Whether it is his body language or his openness to people and the walls he creates from other people.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t smile, he is a young, angry, brooding, man. He has a troubled past and doesn’t get along with his family.<\/p>\n

I’m not like that. I’m very open, smiling, jovial and very talkative.<\/p>\n

I also had to do training for dirt bike riding for this character.<\/p>\n

What’s the one piece of advice from Mr Bhansali that stayed with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To completely let go of who you are as a person and completely dive into the character’s soul.<\/p>\n

As an actor, sometimes what happens is that how you are as a person starts taking over and that shows in your work.<\/p>\n

You have to let go of that image and surrender to the director.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Were you always inclined towards cinema since you come from a family of actors?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not at all. I was more towards sports and music.<\/p>\n

Since my father was in the business, I was always surrounded by people of the business and always hearing conversations about films and film-making.<\/p>\n

I think I started taking it seriously once Sanjay (Bhansali<\/em>) sir offered me the chance to be launched by him.<\/p>\n

What was fascinating for you about the industry back then?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unexpectedness.<\/p>\n

There’s no specific formula for a hit or a box office success. The magic is just created and no one has the recipe for that.<\/p>\n

That’s why everyone just tries to outdo one another and do their best to give a blockbuster.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did your father react when you told him about your acting aspirations? What was his advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not one specific advice, it’s just the whole process of how they brought me up and how they have taught me about what I should be doing in the industry.<\/p>\n

I think that made it easy for me.<\/p>\n

Also, the decisions that I take in my career and life are heavily influenced by my parents because they teach me from their mistakes.<\/p>\n

As a star kid, what do you find challenging about this profession?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Laughs<\/em>) I’m still trying to figure out what the audience wants from me.<\/p>\n

I’ll figure that out after a few films because once you’ve portrayed a certain bank of work, only then will the audience also be able to gauge what works for me.<\/p>\n

Right now, I am just exploring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is called Miranda Brothers<\/em> with Sanjay Gupta and Suspect<\/em> with Nana Patekar, in which I am playing a double role.<\/p>\n

One is a murder mystery thriller and the other is a sports crime drama.<\/p>\n

I’m shooting for two more but they haven’t been announced, so I’m not allowed to talk about that.<\/p>\n

Who’s your dream director? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I would love to do a musical under his direction, and if I’m playing a rockstar in that, it would be perfect.<\/p>\n
