Sunny Singh On Playing A Gay Character In Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani: Had No Anxiety Or Fear | EXCLUSIVE

Sunny Singh plays a homosexual character in his latest project Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani, also starring Aditya Seal. In an exclusive interview with Zoom, the Adipurush actor spoke about his experience working with Seal, challenges playing a gay character and more.If Shakti Samanta were to see your Amar Prem what would he say?Ha different era, different movie. Rajesh Khanna sir was there, Sharmila m’aam was there and it's about it's a different concept. Our film is very different because those were different characters altogether. In our film, Amar and Prem come into a relationship and it's just that they are in love and it's a love story which I don't think I have ever seen. It's like two boys who fall in love and it's about a family getting into it and whatever problems arise in their relationships through the perspective of two boys.Did you have any apprehensions about playing a gay character?Not at all. I am very excited about that film and because this is again, as you have just mentioned, an uncommon subject and that is what we wait for as actors. If we get a different character, a different challenge then I am lucky, I feel that whatever work I have done till now whatever Wild Wild Punjab, Ujda Chaman, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and even Adipurush… I have been very lucky. So I had no anxiety, no fear, nothing like how will I do it, what will happen, etc. Because when you are an actor, you do workshops, you do theatre, there is a preparation.How comfortable were you with your costar Aditya Seal?I think Aditya is superb in the film and very receptive. From the very first day, we were in sync with the director and once we were into character, we felt what people of the same sex feel. We can see same-gender marriages and all kinds of relationships are out in the open. They get married .What do you like the most about your character and how did you stop yourself from judging him?Just as there are many men chasing my character Amar, I had many women chasing me. The character of Amar is very desi. It's so cute… pampered at home and everything. I never judged my character. Who am I to judge because this is the character to be played?Did you know Aditya Seal from before?We knew each other but never interacted. I use to say in the same locality. I knew that Aditya actually used to stay like three or four buildings away from me but we never talked. We met on this film and we talked about our experiences. He is a very genuine person.
