Interview with Kettan Singh for Shankar Jai Kishan –
3-in-1
1. How does it feel to play three
roles in one show?
To
be honest, It’s a dream come true of every actor to play multiple role in a
single TV show. However, I must agree that it’s a most tedious job as playing
three roles with three different accents is not easy for an actor. It takes a
lot of concentration and voice modulations. I had to do some research for each
of the characters. The doctor’s character requires me to talk in pure Hindi, so
I need to ensure my pronunciation of words is correct whereas the police
inspector character is more ‘tapori’ and a has a heavy voice. To change from
one character physically also is very challenging.
2. How does it feel to play three
roles in one show, Shankar Jai Kishan – 3-in-1?
To
be honest, It’s a dream come true of every actor to play multiple role in a
single TV show. However, I must agree that it’s the most tedious job as playing
three roles with three different accents and character traits is not easy for an
actor. It takes a lot of concentration and voice modulation practice to fine
tune and agree on the best version of every character.
3. How did you bag this role?
I
do a show on YouTube called ‘Janhit Me Jari’ which went viral. The casting team
from Swastik productions liked it and asked me to give an audition. As the role
demanded playing multiple roles by the same person, I was little hesitant about
taking it up. But when I got selected I became more confident as I had support
of friends and family who thought I can pull off these characters very smartly.
This encouraged me to say yes for this role and here I am playing three roles
in Shankar Jai Kishan – 3-in-1.
4. What were your challenges for
this role?
The
biggest challenge was the body language. I am a voice over artist so voice
modulation was not really a task but the body language was a task. In every
scene the body language changes. I have to live those three characters but at
the same time separate from each other.
5. This show is about atrangi
comedy and triple role kajhol, have you ever faced any atrangi funny situations
in your life?
There
have been many such small funny stories while growing up. In all fun, school
times, college times, when you either lie or innocently manipulate something to
avoid being in trouble or to avoid doing something you do not like. Like lying
about being sick because you don’t want to attend class but later the professor
finding out that you are not sick. Or even, bunking class and chilling with
friends and bumping into your parents in the middle of the road. The one I
clearly remember is that I used to forge my father’s signature and once I
forged it for my report card one semester. Somehow my father got to know about
it and had be grounded and banned from everything for a month.
6. Who was your inspiration for
this role?
I
took references from the major movies especially for the characters. For
instance, I studied the character of Amol Palekar from ‘Golmaal’, Shah Rukh
Khan’s character from ‘Rab ne Bana di Jodi’ for Shankar’s character who is very
innocent, shy and always speaks in Shudh Hindi. Similarly, for Jai’s character
I took inspiration from Salman Khan. Kishan is someone that I want to create a
character of my own with a personal touch, very close to the real me.
