Sunny Sachdeva, known for his role in Jhanak, is set to star in Mann Atisundar, transitioning from a 'good boy' image to a darker character named Aham Mittal.
Actor Sunny Sachdeva, last seen in Jhanak, is all set to return to television in a very different avatar. Having portrayed the soft-spoken and reformed Laal in Jhanak, Sunny now takes on a darker, more intense role in the new show Mann Atisundar. “For me, I have played negative and grey-shaded roles in the past,” he says. “In Jhanak, my role of Laal ended off as a gentleman, a decent guy. He became a family-oriented person. The show became a huge success, leaving me with a good boy image.” Now stepping into the shoes of Aham Mittal, elder brother of protagonist Pratham (played by Sparsh Singh Kotwal), Sunny is ready to shift gears. “With Mann Atisundar, it’s time to create another image.
Here I'm playing a powerful role, and my presence in the story will not only create noise but also bring a major twist. I'm excited to get back to that bad boy image.” He points out that moving between contrasting roles comes naturally to him. “The transformation from one image to another on the screen comes very easily. The set design and props can influence movement, interaction, and overall portrayal. We actors need to adapt to these elements and integrate them into our performance.”
While many actors express concerns about being typecast, Sunny sees his current phase as creatively liberating. “Actors usually complain about being typecast, limiting their opportunities to explore different roles and challenge themselves creatively. I'm happy that I'm enjoying different genres every time.” Having appeared in shows like Pyaar Ke Saath Vachan Dharam Patnii, Sherdil Shergill, and Naagin 6.
