An outsider might have to “ knock the door twice, but it’s no reason to be less hopeful.” – Ankit Rathi

Ankit you’ve been around for two years in the Hindi film industry, how has the journey been?

Actually, it’s been eight years now. I did a cameo in Fukrey which was in the year 2013 after that I had a small part in Singham Returns as well. Farhan Akhtar gave me my first break in 3 storeys where I shared the screen with Richa Chadha, Pulkit Samrat, Renuka Sahane and Sharman Joshi. So, from doing commercials to being an AD and then films, it has been a good ride.

Of course, the path is still with thorns and he has miles to go but with his perseverance and zeal, Ankit is sure to reach his goals. Read on… as Ankit talks about his films, struggle, being an outsider and more….

Tell us about your film and your character?

Bolo Hau is a love story set in Hyderabad. My character is Salman, who’s madly in love and knows no boundaries. It is a fun, light hearted rom-com which i’m sure all will enjoy. With catchy songs, romance, humour and drama we are sure the film will give the viewers a wholesome experience, just like a perfect family entertainer.

Since it’s the raging topic, what is your opinion about this “insiders versus outsiders” debate?

Yes, of course, it’s a very ignited topic these days, but the fact is that it’s not a new thing, it’s always been this way. But I firmly believe that it’s all about doing justice to your job at the end of the day. An outsider might have to knock the door twice, but it’s no reason to be less hopeful.

Any more projects in the pipeline?

I’m reading a script for a web show. What I am looking for is something that is different from what I’ve previously done. I might share the news soon.

Lastly, when you look back at your journey, is there anything you want to change?

I mean, if I say I wouldn’t want to change a few things about my journey, I would be lying. But I think those are just learnings, which wouldn’t have come otherwise.
