Sanjay Kapoor on the wink scene from "Merry Christmas": "Made all the difference"

Actor Sanjay Kapoor discussed his part in "Merry Christmas" and his approach as a director's actor in an exclusive interview. He also talked on how a single scene may affect a movie's overall tone.

In an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, actor Sanjay Kapoor talked about his style as a director's actor and his thoughts on the film's tone, as well as the funny wink sequence from "Merry Christmas." It was widely praised by reviewers and viewers alike for his performance in the movie.

Kapoor used the example of "Merry Christmas" to illustrate how even a slight alteration to a setting may have a significant impact. He explained, "The director and the content work together." Occasionally, a precise close-up that emphasizes a particular emotion on the performer's face can significantly impact the entire sequence. For instance, in the lift scene of "Merry Christmas," I remove my wedding ring and pretend to tie the laces on my shoes. I wink at Albert (Vijay Sethupathi) at the same scenario. The scenario would have had only a 50% impact if the wink had not been made."
