Veteran actor Mukesh Rishi, currently seen in
Sphereorigins’ Salakaar as Pakistani General Zia-ul-Haq, is admired for his
powerful screen presence and commanding baritone. He says his voice is not
merely a natural gift but the outcome of consistent effort.
“I work hard for it, I practice for it, and I
follow it with regular discipline. Whether it’s the body or the voice—if you
keep practicing, if you give them respect, the results will always show,” he
shared.
With a career spanning over three decades, Rishi
admits that some characters have stayed with him long after the films were
over. Recalling performances in Sarfarosh, Indian, and Sooryavansham, he
explained that each role had its own distinct arc and atmosphere.
“When you get a role, you realize it is
different—it carries its own energy and style of expression. Like in life, you
meet thousands of people but only a few remain close friends. Similarly, some
roles stay with you. I feel Salakaar will be one of them,” he concluded.
