Amit hopes film revives career; seeks more acting work

Amit Sadh has built a devoted fan base with his striking screen presence and strong acting chops. Movies like 'Breathe', 'Avrodh: The Siege Within' and 'Jeet Ki Zid' have earned him plenty of praise in recent years.

Now, he is preparing for the big-screen release of 'Pratap', which is notable for being his first major theatrical role since 'Gold' in 2018, a gap of eight years.

Amit Sadh on directing and his hopes for ‘Pratap’

In a chat with Bollywood Hungama, when asked whether he dreams of directing or making a film himself, he answered: “I have no such dream at present. My only hope is that 'Pratap' should work. Warna jo dream leke aaye the Mumbai, woh falter ho jaayega (laughs).”(Otherwise, the dream with which you came to Mumbai will come to nothing.)He added, “On a serious note, as a creative person, you can do anything. You just need to find the right voice at the right time. Right now, I just want to do some great work and get more work. A lot of people tell me, ‘We don’t get to see you enough (in films and shows)’. Lekin main parda laga ke ghar pe nahin baitha hoon.(But I am not sitting at home with the curtains drawn.) I know the audience wants to see me. I really hope filmmakers and casting directors finally wake up and give me more work.

I don’t know why they are so upset with me and why they don’t give me work. I want to work. As an actor, I am ready to do so. And I hope Pratap changes all that for me.”He ended the conversation, saying, “Main haarne waala insaan nahin hoon. Main haarne aaya hi nahin hoon!(I am not the kind of person who loses. I didn’t come here to lose!) You know me, I am a fighter. I am a gladiator. Ladte rahoonga (laughs).”

Amit Sadh as a cop in the ‘Pratap’ trailer

In the trailer, Amit Sadh is seen as a police officer whose world falls apart when he lands behind bars. The footage jumps between past and present, dropping hints about what led to his arrest and the battle waiting for him. Tense confrontations, hard-hitting action and sudden twists make you curious about a man who once enforced the law and is now fighting to save himself. The film also features Esha Deol alongside an accomplished ensemble cast.
