Veteran Bollywood star Javed Jaffrey is all in for ‘Mayasabha’, his next big screen venture hitting theaters on January 30. The actor revealed he completely detached from other projects during filming, a deliberate choice to achieve peak concentration on his character.
In an insightful interview, Jaffrey discussed the actor’s responsibilities. He respects the writer’s painstaking scriptwriting process and the director’s world-building efforts. ‘You don’t boss around the script after one read or challenge the director’s authority,’ he asserted firmly.
Collaboration thrives on trust, Jaffrey noted. He poses thoughtful questions to understand directorial intent, ensuring no ego clashes disrupt the flow. ‘They live with the character; they know its motivations. My job is to breathe life into it per their vision.’
Occasionally, he suggests alternatives, but yields to guidance that preserves character integrity. This full-throttle dedication—halting all else for 100% focus—defines his craft. ‘Mayasabha’ marks another chapter in his diverse career, blending his comic timing with deeper shades.
As the comedy-drama approaches release, Jaffrey’s approach highlights timeless acting wisdom: immerse fully, respect the team, and let the character shine. Audiences are set for a treat from this seasoned performer.
