Manjot Singh on 'Chutzpah': I wasn't shy of portraying my character because it's very relatable

Manjot Singh opens up about his character in ‘Chutzpah’ being infatuated by Wild Butterfly

Manjot Singh, who turned a year older on July 7, is eagerly awaiting the release of his highly-anticipated web show, ‘Chutzpah’, set to premiere on SonyLIV from July 23. The actor says he was not shy of portraying his character in the show because it is very relatable and that he did workshops to imbibe the body language.

“As far as my character Rishi is concerned, you can see the bond growing between him and the girl, Wild Butterfly (portrayed by Elnaaz Norouzi, who works in an adult entertainment industry) he likes. It’s just about two individuals connecting with each other through the medium of the internet. It’s sort of an attachment that Rishi has with that girl. Sometimes, we find the brightest thing in the darkest space. I cannot reveal much as that would give away the story. I wasn’t shy of portraying my character because it’s very relatable,” said Manjot.

Talking about the prep he went through for the role, he added, "I did workshops (with director Simarpreet Singh) regarding my body language, way of speaking, etc. It’s always good to unlearn few things to get into the process of attempting something new. I was a little nervous on the first day, also thinking whether the viewers would like my character or not. But it was an amazing experience shooting for the show." 

Living up to the title, 'Chutzpah' showcases the relevance of the internet and social media in everyone’s life, which has caught the fancy of the viewers. Featuring Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, Gautam Mehra, Tanya Maniktala, Elnaaz Norouzi and Kshitij Chauhan amongst others, ‘Chutzpah’ gives a sneak peek into the digital transformation of human identity in today’s era. In short, it’s like a slice of cake, layered with 5 differently flavoured stories tied together with the fine cream called 'the internet'.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan and created and written by Amit Babbar and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, 'Chutzpah' is directed by Simarpreet Singh.
