I’d love to play twisted character like Joe Goldberg in ‘YOU’: Chintan Rachchh
Chintan Rachchh expressed his desire to play a grey character like Joe Goldberg in ‘YOU’. He said he is putting it out in the universe hoping that an Indian adaptation is made and I get to play Joe in it.
Hyderabad: Chintan Rachchh, who is known as Faruq from the series ‘Class’, is excited about the announcement of season 2. Season 1 of ‘Class’ left the audiences at quite a cliff hanger – while the killer is revealed, will he be nabbed remains the question.
Faruq’s character is slated to take off to Sharjah, so will he stick around for his love interest Dhruv or be missing from action? Season 2 has plenty of questions to answer.
In the meanwhile, the young actor expressed his desire to play a grey character. “I love how challenging it would be to play a twisted character like a Joe Goldberg in ‘YOU’. I get an adrenaline rush just to think about the mind games and the preparation that would be needed to convincingly play Joe. I am really putting it out in the universe hoping that an Indian adaptation is made and I get to play Joe in it. I mean… one can always dream,” said Chintan.
Talking about his working relationship with the director, he said, “Firstly, I very fondly call him ‘Awesome Ahluwalia’, and not Ashim. This man is not just the reason behind me being on the show but also the reason behind this version of me that I am today. I had my big epiphany when we were shooting for a scene in Chandni Chowk. It was probably the fifth take; I wasn’t exactly getting the vibe of the scene and was probably overthinking. That’s when Ashim said, and if I may quote him, ‘Bachpan me topper tha kya?’ and I went like – ‘Yes! How do you know?’ Then he said, ‘Haan, now it makes sense. Chintan, don’t ace this scene, just do it the way you want to do it’. And I ended up taking that advice for everything in my life, from that day forth.”
Chintan has made quite a presence in the theatre circuit for a long while and actively pursued modelling as well. He writes and recites poetry and does a lot of open mic gigs as a hobby. ‘Class’ has given the actor a wide visibility, and he is currently reading scripts and auditioning for future projects.
