Ashmit Patel who started his career with Bollywood films and has also been part of reality shows on television, is very happy that the pandemic actually opened doors to many creative minds who could explore different ideas in the web space. He said, “Pandemic put us through tough times and the BO suffered a lot and film stars could not release their films in theatres. But, on the other hand, alternative platforms gave a much-needed boost to technicians, actors, and directors whose creativity crossed boundaries and we all could find good work during this period. Smaller budget films, which had talented actors flourished during this period. So, creatively, I feel this is a good time for actors like me, who have been wanting to do different things.
Ashmit got popular with films like Murder, Banaras and Fight Club, and Inteha. The 38-year-old actor, who has completed more than a decade in the industry, believes there are still so many things that he has to learn to catch the eye of noted filmmakers.
Ashmit Patel says the day he would feel that he has learned all about the craft that an artiste requires, the big opportunity itself will come his way.“Call it Karma or whatever I’m still working in the industry. I do have a wish list of directors I would like to work with. But I believe that you get offers or choices of what you deserve.“The day I deserve to do a film with Raj Kumar Hirani, he will come to me. That’s the way the universe works, which is my belief,” he said. Ashmit is now looking forward to his upcoming film “Dongri Ka Raja”, which also stars Ronit Roy, and Gashmeer Mahajani.
