Content Creator Taran Singh Debuts In Bollywood With 'Munjya'
Taran Singh Shares Details About His Character In Debut Film Munjya: Content creator and 'Water Boy' for IPL team Rajasthan Royals, Taran Singh, makes his Bollywood debut in Maddock Films' latest release 'Munjya'. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film stars Sharvari, Abhay Verma, Mona Singh, and Taran Singh. 'Munjya', based on a supernatural creature from Maharashtrian folklore, hits cinemas today (June 7).
'Munjya' is part of Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe following 'Stree' and 'Bhediya'. In an exclusive chat with Filmibeat, Taran Singh discussed his character and how he landed the role in 'Munjya'.
While speaking to us, Taran Singh revealed that he initially planned to apply for an AD (assistant director) intern position for 'Munjya'. However, destiny had other plans, and he ended up securing his debut role in the film. He explained, "From very early on, I have been interested in learning the art of making content."
"As soon as I finished college in Ambala, my hometown, I decided to come to Mumbai and started working with TVF. At that time, I learnt that Maddock is working on a movie called Munjya and they were looking for an AD intern. I tried to get in touch with the team, but then COVID hit," he added.
He continued, "With time and my followers' appreciation, I started posting more content. After COVID, Casting Bay team reached out after seeing my Instagram videos offering me the role in the same movie I was considering working on as an intern."
"After a couple of audition rounds, I was selected for the role. You know how they say life comes full circle; this was exactly my moment," he said.
Taran plays Spielberg, the best friend of Bittu (played by Abhay Verma). Talking about his character, he shared, "My character in the movie is called Spielberg. The plot revolves around how Munjya is troubling Bittu and Spielberg trying to help his best friend."
"But the funny part is when Munjya also starts bothering Spielberg. That is all I can reveal without any spoilers. It is going to be interesting for the audience to see how the story unfolds this Friday, June 7," he added.
"I cannot wait for my followers/audience to go watch me on the big screen. I have auditioned for a few roles in the past, but content creation is my first priority. So, I wanted to take up a project only when I was confident about the opportunity," he further added.
