Karan Soni has been a part of the Hollywood superhit film ‘Deadpool’. he/she shared the screen with Ryan Reynolds. he/she was born in Delhi and has a special love for Bollywood. he/she wants to work with Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in the future.

Karan Soni, Dopinder of the superhero film ‘Deadpool’ starring Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, is also very fond of Bollywood. Delhi-born Karan is in the news these days for ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’. In an exclusive conversation with us, Karan told us that he/she wants to do a film with Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar. Read the full conversation:You are from Delhi, so how much connection do you have with Indian cinema? If you get an offer to do a Bollywood film, would you like to do it?
Of course. I grew up watching Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar’s films. However, I moved here in 2007 so I can’t watch as many films now as I miss them. I watched ‘Rocky and Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ twice in theatres. I also watched ‘Teri Baatein Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ in theatres, so I would definitely want to do a Bollywood film because I grew up watching them.


Bollywood cinema has changed, Ranveer-Ranbir, Alia and Kriti are amazing actors
Bollywood cinema has changed a lot. Earlier, there were only big-scale dance and song films, but now many different types of small-budget films are being made. However, I also like these big song-dance films. I was very happy to watch ‘Rocky and Rani…’ because watching it reminded me of the times of ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’. I want to work with Alia, Ranbir, Ranveer, Kriti and many other Bollywood actors because I think they are amazing actors.

You have been a part of this franchise since ‘Deadpool One’. How strong has your relationship with ‘Deadpool’ i.e. Ryan Reynolds grown over the years?
It has strengthened in many ways. Actually, when the first film was made, Ryan’s career was at a different stage. he/she did not have so many big films. It happens in everyone’s career that people go through ups and downs, so he/she worked very hard to make the first film special. At that time his/her thinking was that I will give my 1000 percent in this film because at that time no one had shown much faith in this film. The studio had not given much budget either, so Ryan respects and appreciates everyone who was associated with the first film because we were making this film quietly in a corner of Hollywood, which no one had an eye on and then it became so big that no one had expected it, so everyone who worked in the first film, they developed a special bond with Ryan. Therefore, I feel very connected and hope they do too.

Your role in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ was quite small. What would you like to say about this?
Yes, but we actors have no control over this. We have to follow the director. At first it is a little sad that you do not have such a big role, but then when you watch the film, you realize that oh, Ryan is going on this adventure trip. he/she is leaving his/her world and going on this journey, so it is not possible to take everyone along. So, I had a mixed reaction. Initially, I felt that I would have liked to be in the film in a better capacity, but when I saw the film, I felt happy that I am a part of this world. The film is so epic that I am excited to be a part of it and whenever they call me for a bigger role, I will come happily. As an actor, your job is to do what is asked of you and for me, it is a good fortune to be even a small part of this world.

You have given voice to Indian Spiderman Pavitra Prabhakar, how was that experience?
The experience of giving voice to Pavitra Prabhakar was amazing. I had auditioned for it about two-three years ago, then I did not know that it was for the character of Spider-Man. When I got selected, they told me that you are going to give voice to Spider-Man India, so I said what is Spider-Man India, (laughs). I did not know then, then I googled it and found out that such a character already exists. The makers’ thinking was that we want to make this character more Indian, so we rewrote the lines together. Their effort was to make it very Indian, show Indian culture, according to that we made a lot of changes and this was possible because many Indian animators and Indian VFX experts have worked on it. I feel very proud when many non-Indian children say that Indian Spider-Man is my favorite.

There is often discussion about including superheroes from different countries in Marvel superheroes. Which Indian actor do you think would be perfect as a Marvel superhero?

Alia is my favourite Indian actress and she is also doing Hollywood films, so I think she will be perfect for this. She will do a great job in any role. Ranveer Singh will be especially good as a villain.
