Bollywood actor Pulkit Samrat believes that the budget of a film is not relevant, as audiences ultimately connect with strong storytelling rather than scale.
Pitching in on the ongoing debate around big-budget versus smaller films, the ‘Fukrey’ actor said that irrespective of budget, good stories always find their audience.
During an exclusive conversation with IANS, Pulkit was asked about the discussion surrounding big-budget and smaller films. Responding to this, he said, “Good stories always work. There will always be an audience for honest storytelling and strong performances. Cinema is a collective experience, and audiences deserve to go home entertained, whether the film is a comedy, drama, or horror.”
Speaking about his work, Pulkit will next be seen sharing screen space with his ‘Fukrey’ co-star Varun Sharma in the upcoming comedy “Rahu Ketu.”
Explaining what comedy means to him, Pulkit said, “Comedy is as challenging as any other genre. Every scene demands effort. There is a misconception that comedy is easy, but that is far from the truth.”
He further added that there is a fine line between being funny and overdoing it. “I have learned a lot about comic timing from Varun. His sense of timing is exceptional, and working with him has helped me grow immensely,” Pulkit shared.
Directed by Vipul Vig, “Rahu Ketu” boasts an ensemble cast including Shalini Pandey, Piyush Mishra, Chunky Pandey, Amit Sial, and Manurishi Chaddha, among others.
Talking about the film earlier, Pulkit had said, “We’ve had the most fun shooting this full-on, hilariously twisted chaos of a film. Can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve created.”
Jointly backed by Zee Studios and BLive Productions, “Rahu Ketu” is scheduled to release in cinemas on January 16, 2026.
