The 68-year-old, who has worked in Bollywood films such as Mohra, Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, Kanti Shahs cult film Gunda and Zubeidaa, has talked about the difference he has seen in the star culture on international sets as compared to Bollywood.
Harish, in a conversation with IANS, said: There is no star here (internationally). They are just so simple, grounded and humble. They are just thorough professionals.
They dont have it in their heads that I am a star, which I feel is there (in Bollywood) in some stars have it in their head that I am a star, I am a big star. It seems with their entry only. The way they come on the sets.
Harish plays a manager, Kumail Nanjianis character is a Bollywood star and a superhero named Kingo in Marvels upcoming film. The Indian actor says that the Pakistan-origin actor-comedian nailed the style of Hindi film stars in Eternals.
Kumail Nanjiani has portrayed that very well in Eternals. The Bollywood star which shows on his facethe way he has nailed it is amazing. Kumail is an amazing actor, he added.
Eternals, directed by Chloe Zhao, who won this years Best Director Oscar for Nomadland, is the 25th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is releasing on November 5.
It also stars Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, with Kit Harington, Salma Hayek and Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie.
In the film, Harish has shared screen space with all Hollywood personalities apart from Salma Hayek and Kit Harrington.
I am almost with everyone in the scenes. Unfortunately, I do not have a scene with Salma Hayek and Kit Harrington. I am with everyone else, he said.
So, how was it working with Angelina?
When we work that time it doesnt strike how big a person you are sharing screen space with. These people are so grounded and humble. They dont even have it in their head that they are such big people. We all helped each other while working.
He credits Zhao for briefing and helping him.
And when you have a director like Chloe Zhao, who has explained everything to you in the beginning then you dont have to take any kind of tension or stress. It reflects in the film.
The actor still pinches himself to believe his luck.
I suddenly joined this big and amazing film and I still cannot believe it.
However, he did face a little hiccup.
Harish came out Covid positive days before the premiere of Eternals.
