Sushant Singh Rajput opens up about going nude for ‘Drive’

Sushant Singh Rajput will soon be hitting the silver screen opposite Jacqueline Fernandez in the upcoming film, ‘Drive’. It is being directed by ‘Dostana’ (2008) director Tarun Mansukhani, under the Karan Johar banner.

Deccan Chronicle reveals that Rajput will perform nude for a scene in this film. When asked about having any concerns in acting this scene, Rajput said, “I don’t have inhibitions; because I need to convince you that I’m the part. And if I have to do something to make sure you are convinced, I would do it. I’m getting paid for it!”

“Why wouldn’t it be comfortable? Why should I be thinking about this? If I have to cry in a scene, I’m actually crying. Now, that’s not a comfortable thing to do. Because I, normally, am emotionally detached. So, I don’t cry. But when I cry in a film, I have to come up with something exactly similar to feel what I have to at that point. I feel that and cry. That’s exactly what I do. Actors are not supposed to feel comfortable most of the times, if his character isn’t comfortable,” he added.

Rajput reportedly disclosed that his nude scene was essential to the storyline and therefore he was comfortable doing it. “If you ask me whether I am comfortable showing my skin on screen, I will say yes. I don’t have inhibitions, but the role needs to require that kind of a scene. It can’t be just for the heck of it,” he said.

‘Drive’ is scheduled to release in 2018.
