Actor Ashmit Patel started his Bollywood journey in year 2003 with film “Inteha”. Soon after that range of films were released, from Murder to Fight Club, Banaras, Dil Diya Hain, Nazar and many more. He is all set to mark his success with upcoming film “Toss”. In recent conversation with the media, he briefed everyone about the making of the film, his experience, story of the film and his role. “Toss-A flip of destiny” is presented by Knox Entertainment and is produced by Mukesh. D. Ramani. The film is directed and written by Ramesh Khatkar.
Toss is a story of a group of childhood friends and incident, which occurs and changes the flow of their life, relationship and beliefs. He plays the character of ‘Josh’. Josh is aggressive young blood. He is short-tempered and works in an advertisement firm. He holds the capability to sell glares to a blind man. He has excellent ability to market the product and pursue people to buy anything and everything. He is in love with Sheri played by Madhureema. He withholds his emotions inside and doesn’t know how to express his feelings for her.
He further says, “Toss is a fast-paced thriller-pact film. Its presentation makes the movie interesting with ample of twist and turns. It’s a film through which one can understand the role of destiny in each one’s life. It shows how many can change relationships and their meanings.”
When asked about the Director, he commented, “I know Ramesh Khatkar since the time of film ‘Inteha’. He approached me with some project and we were in talking terms. But somehow it couldn’t work out. But it clicked for ‘Toss’. It was great to work with him. He is thoroughly passionate towards filmmaking. He is stubborn and straightforward about his thoughts and direction. He forgets everything while the shoot is on. He even forgets that one needs to eat. He himself doesn’t eat anything and make us starve too.”
When asked that film has a huge star-cast, how was his rapport with everyone and with whom was the tuning best? He answered, “As we all belonged to the same age-group it was too much of fun on the sets. Everyone gelled conveniently. But I Know Rannvijay since Roadies time and therefore, it was great to be on sets together.”
When he was asked about his co-female actor Madhureema he said, “She is cast opposite me. And it was good to work with her. She is simple and highly focused. More than her looks and glamour, she focused on her work and performance.”
My upcoming films include “The Flag” and “Florida Road”. In “The Flag” I play character of young, simple and emotional village guy. It is patriotic film. On other hand, “Florida Road” is an international project. It is my first step towards Hollywood. It was an immense pleasure and I have ample to learn from it.
