Varun Sood who is known to every fan, and has been on is working towards establishing his foothold as a credible actor. His two shows are now in the news, namely on Amazon Mini TV and on Amazon Prime. Varun Sood had a candid conversation with us.
Talking about , he said it was a special show for him given his Army background. The show is based on the defence training school, the fictional Officers Training Academy in Chennai. As per reviews, Varun Sood is supposed to be one of the 'best things' about the show.
He has got every nuance to perfection. He told us, "It was a very emotional show for me. Like my father, I too had dreams of joining the Army.
In fact, I had submitted my papers for the same. Even though it was a show, I tried to bring forth the emotion of brotherhood and unity that is the essence of an Army training institute. My dad (Brigadier Vineet Sood) discussed his academy days with me.
There were different characters in the institute. From the punishments to how they did negotiate when they wanted to go out and have fun, he shared his experiences. I wanted to give my best as I did not want to disappoint my dad.
" He says that OTT shows have broken the hierarchy of TV, web and film actors. Good web shows that made producers realize that an actor is an actor, feels Varun Sood. But his journey as an actor was not an easy one despite his huge popularity as a reality show star.
"No one took me as an actor. I never did an acting project on TV, I had a reality show back.
