Kunal Khemu - From an underdog to street-smart guy
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,January 25 2007]
When Kunal Khemu made his debut as a male lead in 'Kalyug', he came virtually as an underdog, both on and off the screens.
He wasn't made to sit high on the pedestal (rightly so!) by the Bhatts and his (very good) work spoke for him. Even in the film, his character was shown as an underdog before he joined hands with the character played by Emraan Hashmi and took on the entire system run by Amrita Singh.
In contrast he has quite a different personality and outlook in his next release 'Traffic Signal'. While his presence in the film is still being underplayed by the makers of 'Traffic Signal', what cannot be denied is that fact that he plays one of the most fabulous roles ever written for the lead characters in a mainstream film.
In 'Traffic Signal', an ensemble piece, he plays a 'Manager' whose responsibility involves managing their issues, space allocation, personal/professional queries apart from the usual job of collecting the routine 'hafta'!
Looking forward to this street-smart act by Kunal where he turns a volte-face when thrown against unforeseen circumstances!
