Talking about Tamannah, he said, “She’s like family to me as I’ve worked with her previously as well.”
“Overall, it was a beautiful experience working on the film that had a fabulous team, a chilled-out director and of course it was a pleasure working with actors like Aditya Srivastava and Rajpal Yadav,” he further said.
The actor has played negative roles earlier in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada films. Despite portraying the baddie several times on the big screen, Kabir isn’t afraid of getting typecast.
“No role is negative or positive as mercury is poison and medicine both! (Smiles) And no, I’m not scared of being typecast. With Bole Chudiyan, people will see me in a different light and there’s also another film down South where I’ve played the role of a cop. Offers for different roles keep coming and all I have is gratitude,” he said.
Kabir recently made his OTT debut with the mythological web show Ramyug. Directed by Kunal Kohli, the series started streaming on MX Player from May 6. Asked how excited he was for the show, Kabir said, “I was quite excited as Kunal Kohli narrated to me the version of Ramayan that he had particularly studied and understood and that he wanted to showcase on screen.”
“Raavan was the most educated man of the Treta Yug and I was really excited to play him on screen,” he stated.
During the interview, Kabir also said that he is inspired by Australian actor Heath Ledger and late Bollywood actor Amrish Puri. Revealing his dream role and the actors and directors he would like to work with in the future, Kabir said, “I would have loved to play what Keanu Reeves played in John Wick. I had always wanted to work with the late Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Also, I’m really keen on working with directors like Sriram Raghavan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Imtiaz Ali and Ajay Lohan.”
