Veteran actor Supriya Pathak Kapur believes she is doing more interesting work than ever before as the new crop of directors keep coming up with great opportunities for artistes like her.
Supriya, who has been a part of the Hindi film industry for over four decades with classics such as Kalyug, Bazaar, Mirch Masala, Shanghai and Wake Up Sid to her credit besides TV shows like Idhar Udhar and Khichdi, said the scope of getting better roles is bigger today. “It’s a lovely time and a great opportunity to work with interesting young directors.
I’m doing more interesting work than when I was a young girl. Honestly, growing up has been a boon for me,” the actor told PTI in a Zoom interview. “Even the younger characters these days are pretty interesting. In our times, there used to be just a few of them and we all used to hope to get a chance to play them. Today the scope is much more, the girls of today have a lot more opportunities to play different characters,” Supriya Pathak added.
The actor can currently be seen in Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra’s latest directorial venture Toofaan, which started streaming on Amazon Prime Video last week. Supriya, who has previously collaborated with Rakyesh on the 2009 movie Delhi-6, said her decision to board the project was driven by her desire to work with the filmmaker once again.
