Bejoy Nambiar on 'exploring and rediscovering actors' through his works

Mumbai, Nov 19 Filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar does not like to repeat actors unless the script demands it, but he sure seems to have a special liking for the work of Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan.

The actor-director duo had collaborated on the 2017 anthology film, "Solo".

"It is always the story and what the character demands for me, and casting happens accordingly. I do not write anything keeping one actor in mind. I write a story that has several characters and then I look for actors who fit the characters. But I love Dulquer, he is such a delight to work with and any director would love to work with him, I for sure. I loved working with him in 'Solo' and our actor-director equation is successful.

"I also love finding new talents or rediscovering actors in very different avatars," he added.

Bejoy gave an example from his new project "Taish", which released recently. "There is a character called 'Sattu' and it was a challenging part for any actor. When we were going through casting, I met Ekansh Kumar Sharma
