Kay Kay Menon on how the success of 'Special Ops' affected him
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 13 2021]
Brilliant and seasoned actor Kay Kay Menon is awaiting the release of his espionage thriller web show 'Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story'. The selling point of the show is that Kay Kay is reprising his role of Himmat Singh from last year's 'Special Ops' and he's going to play a younger version of the character. “It has been very interesting as it is Himmat’s origin story. I just had to be myself and play the youth that I am, said the actor.
Kay Kay Menon is very glad that recent changes in entertainment industry have made it possible for actors like him to show their true potential. He said, There is a particular way in which things function in our country. Perhaps, I personally would have fallen short of it, I don’t know. But with OTT, the audience has the button in their hand. So, it becomes much more of a level playing field, so they have a choice of what they are watching, what they want to watch.
Talking about how success of 'Special Ops' affected him, Menon said, “I personally am very dispassionate about it. I am very passionate while working, but once the last day of shoot is over I become dispassionate about the particular piece that I have done. And that’s the best way to have a sane mind. Otherwise the highs and lows of life will completely boggle your mind. When Special Ops did very well, we all were very happy, yes, we didn’t expect anything, so this was quite a surprise. It became quite big, but we didn’t think about that while making it.”
