Basking in glory


Kunal Kapoor’s striking performance in Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana has fetched him many more offers. As told to rakesh kumar


The 35-year-old actor, Kunal Kapoor, who became an overnight sensation with Rang De Basanti, is quite excited these days. After a brief lull, the actor is finally basking in the glory of his last flick Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana. The film might not have performed exceptionally well at the box office, but has certainly brought him accolades. He is busy reading as well as writing scripts, shooting his next film, endorsing products and also, doing a little of theatre work.  
“As perceived, I don’t think Chicken Khurana bombed at the box office. Not only did it draw profits for the producers but also, my character was widely appreciated,” he said, claiming that his performance had got him many film offers. “I have been offered many movies and endorsement deals. In the past two months, I happened to read many more scripts than I have read in the last two years,” shared the actor. 
When asked about the script he himself is working on, the actor explained, “I am not writing the script, I am just developing it. It all started on the sets of my last movie, where I met some people and shared my ideas. They liked three of them. These are of different genres like action and comedy.” 
Are you choosy? “No! You can’t say I am choosy but I always look for good scripts. I don’t believe doing all the films coming my way,” said the actor, who is also doing theatre in Delhi.  
On marriage, Kapoor excused himself from the question. “I have not thought about it and whenever I plan to marry, you will be the first one to be informed,” he quipped.
