Karan Tacker on Neeraj Panday: He definitely gives you a lot of freedom

Karan Tacker lauds Neeraj Pandey's blend of actor freedom and tightly crafted scripts.

"He definitely gives you a lot of freedom. - Karan Tacker"

Mumbai, June 26

Actor Karan Tacker says filmmaker Neeraj Pandey gives actors immense creative freedom and added that the director's tightly written, brilliantly crafted scripts leave no room for actors to alter the writer's world.

Asked if the director gives freedom or was he very meticulous, Karan told IANS: "I mean, he definitely gives you a lot of freedom. And that freedom comes in the form of, once they give you a script, they want you to imagine it in your own way. Sir's specialty in shooting is that he likes to throw you into the deep end--he wants you to first figure out how to deal with it yourself."

Karan added: "Then, if you go wrong somewhere, like a good director, he'll guide you with very precise suggestions and tell you the smallest things to change here and there. As an actor, you get to imagine things in your own way."

However, he said Panday's scripts are so well-written that it's not difficult to imagine the character.

"That's the advantage of working with him--his screenplay is very tight, and his writing is extremely strong. You don't feel the need to change anything. I certainly don't. And I believe that if someone is a good writer, as an actor, you shouldn't change anything. You should first try to imagine the world that the writer has created. That's what I always try to do."

'Special Ops 2' stars Kay Kay Menon, Vinay Pathak, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Karan Tacker, Saiyami Kher, Arif Zakaria amongst other actors. The show will start streaming from July 11.

Special Ops, which was first released in 2020, is an action espionage thriller series directed by Neeraj Pandey. It stars Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh, a member of Research and Analysis Wing, forms a team of five agents, in order to track down a person, who is the mastermind of the terror attacks which took place in India.

Neeraj Pandey is truly one of our finest directors! His movies like A Wednesday and Special Ops show how he balances creative freedom with strong storytelling. Karan Tacker is lucky to work with him. Can't wait for Special Ops 2! 🇮🇳

This is why Indian web series are getting better than Bollywood these days. Directors like Pandey treat actors as collaborators, not puppets. Special Ops was brilliant - hope season 2 maintains the same standard 🤞

While I appreciate Pandey's work, sometimes his scripts are too perfect - leaves little room for improvisation. Not every actor is comfortable with such rigid structures. But Karan seems to enjoy it, so good for him!

Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh was just 🔥 in Season 1! If Pandey gives such freedom to actors, no wonder the performances were so natural. July 11 can't come soon enough! #SpecialOpsFan

Interesting to hear about the creative process. Most directors either micromanage or give too much freedom. Pandey seems to have found the right balance - guidance when needed but trusting actors' instincts first.

As someone who works in theater, I appreciate directors who respect the actor's process. Pandey's method of letting actors explore first before giving inputs is how great performances are born. More directors should learn this!
