Two years after his debut film MP3, Ruslaan Mumtaz is back with Satish Kaushik’s Tere Sang. He is playing a seventeen year old boy, who gets a fifteen year old pregnant. Here is what the young actor had to say about the flick, his aspirations in life and more as he speaks with Pankaj Sabnani from BIGOYE. Where were you after MP3?
I was working. It took the producers time to release the films. I have completed three films after MP3. My work is complete in all the films.
Didn’t you get impatient because of the films not releasing? Don’t you think people tend to forget you?
People will forget you as actor someday or the other. I was doing my work in the hope that the films would release some day. Aur ummed pe to duniya kayam hai (The world thrives on hope).
How is Tere Sang shaping up?
Tere Sang is looking interesting. Now when I watch it, I find that there is genuineness in the character which I like. It is a very character oriented film. I am playing a very simple character.
The story of the film sounds similar to Kya Kehna?
Kya Kehna was about this guy who abandons the girl after she gets pregnant and another boy comes in the film. It was actually a love triangle as well. Tere Sang is not like that. Here, the boy is in deep trouble but he stills stands by the girl. That is the reason why the film is titled Tere Sang.
From MP3 to Tere Sang, how far have you improved?
I have obviously done better work in Tere Sang because I was more confident as an actor and beyond that I had a director with more experience. He is also an actor which makes a huge difference. I took it up as a challenge to make my character in Tere Sang different from the character that I played in MP3. I think that I have achieved that.
What are you aspirations as an actor?
I want to be in a position where I can choose scripts. If I tell a director that I do not intend to be a part of his film, I don’t want him to feel bad. I want him to say that he will figure out a role for me and get back.
Which are your upcoming films?
I have got Jaane Kahan Se Aai Hai and Mastang Mama apart from Tere Sang.
