'Prague' can make me big: Chandan Roy Sanyal

Chandan Roy Sanyal's portrayal of edgy, coke lover Mikhail in 2009 film "Kaminay" earned him immense critical acclaim and the actor hopes he gets to taste the same success with his maiden solo lead film "Prague".
The Ashish R Shukla directed psychological thriller will see the 33-year-old actor play a passionate architect with delusions about love and life.
"I am very excited not nervous. I have a feeling that 'Prague' might just make me. It might just throw me in a bigger space. I am hoping it does that so I can do much better work, focus on better cinema, better roles," Chandan told PTI.

"Prague" also stars Elena Kazal, Arfi Lamba, Mayank Kumar and Soniya Bindra in pivotal roles and will hit theatres on July 26.
Even after being appreciated for his role in Vishal Bhardwaj's "Kaminay", the actor found it difficult to find his feet in Bollywood and had to content himself with small roles in films like "Faltu", "Tell Me O Kkhuda".
"As an outsider I have been trying to fight it out. The whole fight is to not succumb to pressures and find my own space. I was not getting the kind of roles I wanted to do. I decided at that time that I would not do wrong films.

"So, I just did two films and it gave me a lot of money and I sat quiet and waited for the right opportunity. I am happy to see the audiences' excitement still there for me. People want to see me do good role, star in good films," Chandan said.
