Ep-11: Acting 101 ft. Aniruddh Roy on UNSETTLING by Amrita Sukumar

The UNSETTLING Podcast

Episode 11 is a conversation with Aniruddh Roy who started his acting career as a theatre actor. When the lockdown hit and all the theatre productions came to a standstill, he decided to do something with all his free time. He went online on all the platforms that had posted ads for actor requirements and auditioned for them. He then realized that the best way out is to compile all the 12 films that they had produced as a team under his banner Greennote films and apply to film festivals, which he did. The films were well received by the audience and picked up and featured on various OTT platforms

Since then, he has been offered roles in movies like 777 Charlie. He has worked in Ad films in Hindi and Bengali and he has also worked with Alt Balaji on their latest series Crimes and Confessions and he will also be seen on Mauka-e-Vardaat. He was a complete movie buff as a child and he draws inspiration from all the actors he looks up to and also from the people he meets in his day-to-day life. He is a kind soul who goes out of the way to help people in need.
