Fardeen on shooting No Entry

Recalling his experience filming the Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor co-starrer, Fardeen Khan said it was a very new experience for him. He said, “As an actor you know it was my first attempt at all-out comedy where I had to play a little silly, funny, goofy kind of a character who’s not (very smart) who’s very vulnerable and naive. It was something very different from the way I saw myself.”

He continued, “It really freed me up because I had to really let go. I was a bit hesitant to do that but (it was because of) Boney Kapoor’s belief in me. He saw me doing some of a couple of such scenes in Khushi. He said ‘Fardeen you’re right for this role’ and I was like ‘Really?’ because it was a remake of Charlie Chaplin (2002) and my role was played by Prabhu Deva. Of course, I interpreted it quite differently.”
