Living with the 'Look' of the character from the pre-production stage in each film, superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee says he is no more tailored for the 'Prince' look in masala entertainers.
"For quite some time I have been doing this experiment with look. You might say since the days of Lalon Fakir in 'Moner Manush'," Prosenjit told PTI.
"I go on changing my looks, experimenting and all. Sometimes I look frail andthen I again gain weight for a typical middle-aged school teacher," the Jaatiswar actor said.
"Gone are the days when I would stick to one chocolate boy demenour and prance around trees. In Force I do stunts but I can't prance around the trees any more. So that necessitates the experimenting with your looks," Prosenjit, who had himself taken up the scissor for a cropped look of a librarian in the Anthony Firingee resurrection flick, said.
Prosenjit, who now sported the moustache and tee in Ladai by Parambrata, said he would now wish to connect to the rural as well as urban audiences in a shift, from solely sticking to the arthouse gharana.
"In Force, I adore a differently abled child and also do action stunts as a hardnosed RAW officer. And Ladai too is centred on a a mass game called football. One must think about the other audiences who want to see me in avatars," he said.
To a question, if missing the national award despite working for ages, didn't rankle him, Prosenjit said, "Happy that Anshuman Gaekwad was acknowledged for his role for the make-up part of actors in Jaatiswar. And so long I get adulation from my people, you and the audience, that is mmore humbling for me."
Prosenjit shared screen space with wife and popular actress Arpita Chatterjee after decades. "One has to think about roles befitting us. In any genre," Prosenjit said.
