Netflix’s recently released crime thriller ‘Kohrra’ continues to receive rave reviews from critics and the audience. Star of the show, Suvinder Vicky, is riding high at fan admiration. In a recent interview, he said, “The show has gone viral. I am experiencing this for the first time in my life and my career. When I am shooting a project, I never think about whether it will get popular or not. I never think about appreciation when I am working, but just give my 100% to the project.”
He reveals that some have drawn a comparison between his acting skills and late actor Irrfan Khan. Vicky says, “That was a dream come true moment for me. The compliment will stay close to my heart forever, that too to get it from the audience not from an industry member. The thought that they compared me with him is a big thing for me. I have done nothing in front of him, so it is a huge honour for me. I have looked up to him and his work since my theatre days.”
He has featured in several projects, including ‘Udta Punjab,’ ‘Kesari,’ and ‘CAT.’ Looking back, he says, “Most of my earlier projects have got critical acclaim, and won awards as well. But, this is the first time that I’ve got such wider acclaim from the audience. I’m very happy that the audience is getting up to notice that I’m a good actor. In fact, that is making people curious about my previous work, my struggle and my journey as an actor. People are wondering where this guy was? This is the first time that I have gotten popular among the masses. I am very happy about it.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Suvinder’s upcoming project ‘Punjab ’95’ is going to feature in the Toronto International Film Festival this year.
