Tellychakkar got in touch with Tota Roy Chowdhury and in an exclusive conversation the actor revealed some interesting details when asked about his views on regulations on OTT, challenging roles and much more.
According to you, should OTT have regulations for showing nudity and violence?
To this, Tota Roy Chowdhury replied by saying that according to his personal views, we should be responsible about what we put out for public viewing. He tries to be in projects where there’s a limit as we can’t show everything on screen as something is to be left for the imagination. In the name of freedom of speech, we should not hurt each other. However, there also some people who are pretending to be hurt just to put someone in a tight spot. So it’s responsibility on all sides.
What’s a type of role that would be challenging for you?
To this, Tota Roy Chowdhury replied by saying that it would be a character that will touch the hearts of maximum viewers because as an artist we all dream of touching other people’s lives with our performance. One might be sitting 10,000 miles away from someone who is a complete stranger or may be not even a stranger as there’s no communication between them at all. However, even after there’s such a distance, when one’s performance changes the life of another person who is sitting so far, that is the beauty of art. So Tota Roy Chowdhury is on the lookout for characters that can touch other people’s heart and entertain the audience as he understands that nowadays everyone is stressed, angry and frustrated.
What’s your parameter for choosing a character?
To this, Tota Roy Chowdhury replied by saying that the script has to be appealing for that as sometimes the character is good but the script isn’t up to the mark. So he tries to have a good script, something that is handled by a director who is honest with his vision. There are directors who claim to send their movies for awards but they really mean to just earn a lot of money. However, Tota Roy Chowdhury wants honesty in a director who will be clear with his vision and if he making a movie to just earn money and say so clearly. The actor wants to know if the director is making a movie to pay his EMIs or to put across a story and would like to work with the latter category.
