Mumbai, September 9 Emraan Hashmi says an actor always tends to be insecure as it is tough to survive in the entertainment industry, which requires one to stay relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actor, who has established himself as a versatile performer in his close to two-decade-long career in Hindi film industry, believes the struggle to survive in showbiz is never-ending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn actor is probably the most insecure person. Anyone who tells you he\u2019s not insecure is lying. From being relevant, to staying alive in a really competitive terrain, it\u2019s not easy,\u201d Emraan told PTI in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s struggling to stay afloat. That\u2019s the nature of the business and that\u2019s what\u2019s fun about it. It\u2019s not easy, but it\u2019s a high. Everything has to lead to the next thing. I don\u2019t have a roadmap. It\u2019s just holding on to the next opportunity and moving on. It\u2019s been 18 years for me in the industry. There are so many new people coming on the block, it\u2019s insane. You\u2019ve got to be on your toes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actor said he is enjoying the current phase of his career where he is getting opportunities to play good roles, starting with Indian intelligence agent Kabir Anand on Netflix India Original \u2018Bard of Blood\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the best time for me. There are films I\u2019ve reluctantly done in the past to keep the gas burning, for bread and butter. They were far from my ideology, thought process and my aesthetics. But it\u2019s a great time now with platforms like Netflix coming up, there are realistic films coming out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It chronicles the story of an excommunicated RAW agent Kabir Anand a courageous analyst and a sleeper agent–who takes on a covert mission in Balochistan when four Indian spies are captured; the mission soon turns south and Kabir must face his demons from the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 40-year-old actor said he had read the book and three episodes were already written when he joined the series.\u201cI had to begin by understanding where Kabir Anand comes from. He has angst, he\u2019s fighting his demons, ghosts from the past. Just getting into his head was a difficult process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never done something like this the spy zone. The show will go to 190 countries so it\u2019ll involve slightly different kind of performance. Understated, real, raw, authentic and nothing that\u2019s unbelievable. Even the action is fantastical but not unbelievable,\u201d he added.Emraan said looking back, he is extremely happy the way the show turned out and hopes for a second season too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis show one went on for five months. Unlike films, where your character arch will last probably two hours, here it\u2019s a longer arch, so many artistes and tracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
