Even after acting for more than two decades across several languages, actor Atul Kulkarni believes his performances come out fresh because when he entered the profession, he had promised himself to not work every day.
The actor is known for his performances in acclaimed films like "Rang De Basanti", "Chandni Bar", "Natarang" among others.
Atul said for him, being on set every day has never been the be-all and end-all, as one also needs time to take in life experiences.
"When I came into this profession, my first condition to myself and my managers was that I don't want to work every day. As an actor you keep giving, so it's important for you to need the time to take things in. I've never believed in working every day. I only choose the work I like in whichever format or language," Atul told PTI in an interview.
The actor believes he would rather wait for the right project to come his way even at the expense of being called "choosy".
"I'm not tired of my profession, not overworked about going to the set and acting. I look forward to it. That's why it's easy to retain that freshness because I do what excites me. People call me choosy but that's how I want to work."
"As an actor you have to approach it differently because you have a character which can go on for a long time. It is my duty to be on my toes, understand the new technology and adapt. That's exactly what I'm trying to do."
