Kunal Kapoor is currently creating quite a buzz in the industry. With several exciting projects in the pipeline, he’s currently seen in a heist drama, Jewel Thief. While he has several interesting projects lined up Kunal Kapoor took a moment to talk about working in films that transcend language barriers. He highlighted the creative freedom of Indian storytellers and emphasized that the vision of filmmakers and actors should transcend regional divides.

Kunal Kapoor said, “I am an Indian actor shooting films in different Indian industries. I don’t view cinema through the lens of North, South, East, or West. These regional divisions serve political interests, not artistic ones. The politicians are the ones who benefit from such regionalism. As creative people, our vision should transcend these manufactured divides.”

He added, “The whole country is our playground, every story worth telling is our story, every audience member is our audience. When we stop thinking of ourselves as regional actors and start seeing ourselves as Indian storytellers, we unlock the true potential of our collective creative spirit.”

For the unversed, Kunal Kapoor has worked across languages in Indian cinema. After establishing himself as a sought-after actor in the Hindi film space, Kunal made his Malayalam debut with Veeram in 2016 and his Telugu debut with Devadas in 2018. Besides these, Kunal Kapoor has worked in acclaimed films, including Rang De Basanti, Aaja Nachle, Dear Zindagi, and others. Though he has not featured in many films, Kunal Kapoor picks roles that make the audience sit back and take notice of him.

While Kunal is currently seen in Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, he has another Telugu film in the pipeline, titled Vishwambhara. Meanwhile, he is also said to be doing a faceoff in the most anticipated Ramayana opposite actor Yash.
