A cinematographer turned actor, Natty shot a song in Bad Newz, the recent film starring Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles. However, he says that he could only work on the film for ten days and had to walk out of it because of date issues. On his noticeable absence from cinematography work in recent times, Natty says, “I still do ad films for job satisfaction. I have not committed to any feature film because I am waiting for a great script with more scope for cinematography. I can commit to a regular film left, right and centre, but what is the point of that? After several years of experience, one should take a slower walk, observe everything, and choose wisely.”

On whether a period film would be one such project, Natty says, “Yes, something like that can satisfy my hunger. That is what I am looking for.” Natty is also doing his first double role in the upcoming film Aandavan Avatharam, with director Charles. Opening up about the film, the actor shares, “I am quite excited about it. The film is still in its early stages. I have already done a song and an action sequence for the film. Production on it will be in full swing later this month.”

Speaking about how he prepares for such a role, Natty reveals, “I do improvisations before a scene, and there I usually get to know what the scene demands and how to approach it. Then, I will take it from there.” Natty is eager to explore diverse roles across various genres. “Whichever script comes, if it draws my attention, I am ready to do it regardless of the genre. If I focus on a specific genre, I will be restricted, which I do not want.

I want to explore more and more characters.”
