Vijay Varma's portrayal of Hamza in Darlings has received high reviews from both audiences and critics.
The actor spoke up about performing negative roles, even though his character has drawn a lot of haters on social media for being a wife-beater. It only goes to show that he aced the role so much so that people believed him as Hamza.?
Having said that, the actor further explained that, "playing a negative character does bring along the opportunity for an actor to tap into a certain kind of personality types that probably exist a lot in the society that we live in.?I feel if a few households resonate with the kind of work we have done in ¡®Darlings¡¯ then it¡¯s a job well done.¡±
Playing grey or negative characters doesn¡¯t come naturally to me. For ¡®Darlings¡¯, I spent a lot of time in agony. There were three women on set and we were as a team cooking up ways to kind of deal with a certain relationship between Badru and Hamza.¡±?
"I never had to face the pressure of the opening day figures though I have been part of films where good opening mattered and they went on to collect good money but it was never in an effect that it would bother me or my job.?What I found fascinating about streaming medium, is how quickly it reaches the audience. To this day I get messages from people in Turkey, England and places where earlier we couldn¡¯t imagine our content was being played.¡±
Hamza's attitude may change from 0 to 100 in a split second, demonstrating the actor's command of the grey-shaded characters. Even the character's crocodile tears help him transform from a demonic being into a loving husband.
The main character of Badrunissa in the Jasmeet K. Reen-directed film "Darlings" is played by Alia Bhatt. Shefali Shah and Roshan Matthew play pivotal roles in the movie.
