After Leaving Crime Patrol, Know What 'Anup Soni' Is Up To

Tell us something about your upcoming short film? 

This short film is based on human trafficking as we all know that it is one of the biggest illegal business in India, this whole film revolves around this social & serious issue.

Few episodes of Crime Patrol were also about human trafficking how this film is different from them?

Yes, there were some stories on human trafficking and other crimes, but this short film is specifically on this topic which will show the minute details of the entire issue.

After so long, you decided to do proper acting again, how is the feeling? 

Now, my full focus is on films, I am taking a break from Crime Patrol. I want to do films, I want to do web series as there are such good stories on web world entertaining the audience. And I think from many years I have not done much as an actor, yes I was doing anchoring but didn't give time to acting. Now I want to give my full time to acting and web series.

You started your career as a Film Actor only but then you moved towards the TV. Why?

Every actor wants to work in films first. My debut film was 'Godmother' with Shabana Azmi then I have done many films like 'Gangajal' and 'Apharan' with Prakash Jha 'Footpath' and 'Imtehan' with Vikram Bhatt, 'Khushi' with Boni Kapoor but sometimes you don't get what you want and same happened with me in films. At that time I got very good offers from TV and I accepted them. Luckily all my TV shows became very popular so I continued with them but now I want to go back to films and play different roles.

You are playing 8 different characters in this short film, tell us about it.

As an actor, people want to see you in different roles and this challenges me and gives me a very different kind of experience. I can't tell you in detail but I am playing the role of, types of people involved in this whole illegal business which we will release in parts.

Which was the most challenging character in this short film? 

There is one character in the film for which I think I have to prepare more to look authentic and real on the screen. It's a very rough look with tattoos and all which you can see in my pictures. For rest of the character, I guess I was prepared.

What will be the name of this short film? 

I can't reveal it as of now.

What are your upcoming projects? 

Currently, I am doing a very interesting role in the film 'Prasthanm' with Sanjay Dutt. Originally, this is a Telugu film but the title will remain the same. As I said now my full focus is on films so, in the gap of every 2-3 months, you will see me on the big screen.
