A biography for Tahir Raj Bhasinhasn’t been written yet.
“I have always believed that the choice of your second film is as important as you first film.”
“I want to explore diverse genres.”
“When an actor thinks he has arrived and become the best one, that's when your downfall starts. I will always strive to do better than in my last film.”
“My mother worked for Confederation of Indian Industry, and Aptech Computers.”
“As an actor, 'Chhichhore' has been one of the most creatively fulfilling projects and I thank my director Nitesh Tiwari for making me a part of his vision.”
“As actors, that has been challenging for us to pick up the nuances of the living legends we are playing.”
“I am the only one in my family to get into acting.”
“As long as the actor is able to maintain an emotional relatability with the audience, he or she will be loved by them.”
“I think as an actor, you have to make yourself vulnerable to emotions.”
“Everyone has loved 'Chhichhore' for a different reason, which I think for an actor is the best thing to hear. What I've been most touched by is that most people have discovered something new about the film when they have walked in the second time.”
“I don't think there are any negative roles anymore. I think we can aptly put such characters under 'anti-hero' tag.”
“The digital medium gives you the license to talk about many things as compared to movies. It is quicker than shooting for a film.”
“Actors normally go to the gym to achieve a certain kind of fitness for a role but when you start playing a sport, then you realise that being athletically fit is a very different kind of fitness.”
“I want to do interesting characters with depth, which are a part of great stories. In fact, if the character is quirky and challenging, that's even better.”
“It is important to experience everything. If you haven't travelled in life, if you haven't had friends, if you haven't been a Chhichhora, then you haven't done anything in life.”
“When people see me as Gavaskar on screen, I want them to feel that they are looking at the person that they have known and when I play on screen, it should remind them of how he played.”
“I'm truly humbled to work with epic minds like Nitesh Tiwari and Kabir Khan.”
“I have been part of really good projects which I'm extremely proud of and 'Chhichhore' will stand tall among my body of work. This is my first Rs 100 crore film and I know I will cherish this moment always.”
“When you are doing a film about real people, you don't have a lot of manoeuvrability when it comes to how much you can add by way of imagination. You have to replicate what they were like. What you can add to it is your version of it.”
“I believe short films are more organic. It's almost like doing theatre. It just takes few takes.”
