Raju Gadu' is a situational comedy where I play a fun and bubbly character. She's a proper Andhra girl who's modern but loves donning desi looks.
The difference between being a victim and a survivor is often a low level of situational awareness. You can't be a super-spy, watchful and paranoid every day. But I am more watchful than the average American.
'Band Vaaje' is all-in-all a comedy film. But all comic scenes are situational. The jokes are not just for the sake of punches. The film has proper story which we are sure that audiences will love.
I liked the character very much and even in general roles like this entice me. I started my journey in Punjabi film industry with negative roles, and then gradually comic roles and situational comedy fell into my kitty.
I like situational comedy when people are being completely serious and yet you can find something extremely funny, not jokes.
My preference is for people who can do sketch comedy or situational comedy, where it's not a joke, but it's telling a story.
Show me one guy or woman as funny as Rodney Dangerfield or as good as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, or Joan Rivers. There are a lot of good comics out there, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, I think what you have is a bunch of situational comics.
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they're usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement.
I think that I am interested in the resonance between character drama and high stakes, either situational or political or social or other kind of elevated drama, and I tend to find that those things combust.
