Kunal Kapoor turns director with silent film

The Rang De Basanti actor Kunal Kapoor, will soon be seen in Noblemen, a film based on bullying.

About his choosiness, Kunal says, “I have done more work of late than what I have done in a long time. I mean many people ask me if I am choosy, but you can only pick from what you have been offered.” Helmed by Vandana Kataria, Noblemen is a psychological drama based on bullying.

Speaking about his roles Kunal feels, “We live in an industry where it’s all about lead roles. If you do lead roles then you are a hero, but if you don’t do you are a supporting actor. These are terms that are put easily and I have never looked at my work like whether I am doing lead or supporting roles,” he explains.

In the meantime, the actor, who has always been inclined towards writing and direction, is making his foray into directing with a silent film.

“It doesn’t have a title right now, but it is about a soldier and it’s a silent film, that’s all I can tell you. It is on the lines of a comic-tragedy,” he confirmed.
