Tellychakkar got in touch with Tota Roy Chowdhury and in an exclusive conversation the actor revealed some interesting details when asked about his love for dancing, his desired actors and directors and much more.
Desirable actors and directors
Tota Roy Chowdhury emphasized that, for him, directors hold greater significance than actors, as he considers himself a director's actor. Having entered the industry in the late '90s, directors who have had a profound impact on him include Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra, the latter being particularly influential due to the groundbreaking impact of "DDLJ" on Indian cinema. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is another director he admires for movies like "Devdas" and "Black." He also expressed a desire to work with directors like Nikhil Advani for "Kal Ho Na Ho," Farhan Akhtar for "Dil Chahta Hai," and Neeraj Pandey for "A Wednesday," as these filmmakers' works have been significant learning experiences for him.
What is Art according to you?
On this, Tota Roy Chowdhury said that art is what the intended audience understands. It is not what he thinks art is. According to him, if he expresses something but the audience doesn’t understand the meaning then it has failed and it is not art but if the audience understands and appreciates then that’s art. He added that he is in a field that is people-oriented and if critics accepted something that he does but the audience doesn’t then he would fail as an artist.
Attraction towards dance
On this, Tota Roy Chowdhury talked about Bharat Natya Shastra and said that going through it, in Abhinaya, there are many ways of enacting and one of the factors it consists of is dancing. He added that to be a complete artist we don’t have to look anywhere and read the simplified form of Bharat Natya Shastra.
