Why is Vijay's 'bad mind'?

Leaving his life at that, he follows his friend Kazi. No big dreams. Have fun, laugh, live. Actor Baral also lives with laughter. Life is to be enjoyed. Think about your friends too. That is why they sometimes recommend the work that comes to them to their friends. Therefore, this character of the movie 'Kabaddi' is very close to Vijay. It is this character that has brought Vijay to a huge audience. If this character was not written in

'Kabaddi', Vijay Baral would hardly have 15 films in his portfolio today. Baral's face was not repeated in four-five films every year when the 'so-called' stars were stuck in two-three films a year. That's why Vijay never forgets the moment of getting the character 'BK'. He was washing bricks in the courtyard of Mandala Theater when director Rambabu Gurung offered him the role of 'BK'. At that time, the mandala hall was being constructed. Buddhi Tamang was plastering. Rambabu said to Vijay, 'You have to do the sold roll.' Vijay was very upset by Rambabu's words. Oh, the work has come. Dasdhunga, film with Dayahang who has been looted,' he says about that first experience, 'Getting the role would have been a big deal, but the challenge was how to perform that role. The audience didn't know Buddhi and me until then.

After getting the character, a conversation started between Buddhi and Vijay, about characterisation. How can Chantyal and BK characters be shown differently? They got excited and started preparations. Again, in 'Kabaddi', these two were not only responsible for acting. From the art to the dress was to be seen. When will the artist wear what? 'Continuity' of one scene with another. From the props to the set construction. At that time, when Veerkaji Vishwakarma (BK) of the Dalit community was being made, Vijay paid a lot of attention to the physical features of that character. BK sometimes sat on the head, sometimes on the cylinder. Sometimes he lived above Kazi and Chantyal. What kind of actions does this character, suppressed in the community, take to present himself as equal? It seems to be presented in a beautiful style in visual language.

I sat up from time to time to say that these two characters are equal. Going inside the house, walking with the Qazi. Sitting at the front, even pushing the bike by myself,' says Vijay, 'I worked on 'Body Language' to show those oppressed by the community that I belong to the same community, I am like you, not different. As those things cannot be said easily, I worked on 'body language' to express them. However, this kind of depth is not found in character creation in Nepali films. The filmmakers are under the illusion that after hiring good actors, the acting will be good. However, Vijay believes that filmmakers should be freed from this illusion. The director had to be able to extract what the story and character were looking for from a good actor. An artist does his work, acting. He can be emotional and loud. They don't even understand whether it will affect the film or not. Good artists are left alone, says Vijay.

In Nepal, there are few filmmakers who can get the kind of performance that they want from actors. However, in this matter too, Vijay has emerged victorious. Acted in 'Pooja, Sir' with director Deepak Rauniar, who sat on the 'text' of the script and watched the emotional and physical movements of the artist. 'Pooja Sir', which reached the Venice Film Festival, became the first film in Vijay's acting journey to reach an international festival. From 'Kabaddi' series, worked with Rambabu Gurung in other films. Rambabu pays great attention to the actor's performance from blocking. Nischal Basnet, who is an expert in extracting 'gudi' from artists, did 'Mind Bad'. Upendra Subba 'convinced' Baral in the character of Limbu in 'Jari'. "The director and the writer are good at getting the actors to do what they want according to their convenience," Vijay analysed. He had to be able to get what he wanted.'

While working with such serious filmmakers, Vijay also worked hard on characterisation. So he stuck to the acting that suited the character. Mangalsingh in 'Zari' looks like a sold out. Vijay has so far lived a normal character on screen, becoming a man of the ground. She talked and laughed in the same way while creating the character rather than making it look normal. With this style of Vijay, he looked 'real' in 'Reel'. The audience saw themselves in these characters, met themselves. And they considered Vijay as their own.

Lately, Vijay's style has been different. Vijay, who has always been seen in a positive character, is equally stuck in a negative character. He, who has always been the assistant of the main character, has now started to appear in the avatar of causing pain to the said character, hindering the achievement of the said character's goal. Vijay has done dozens of such characters in the theater. He himself also wanted to appear in a different character in the film, Nischal Basnet made him Bakhte in 'Dimag Bad'.

makes the character angry, angry. He also knows how to beat people in anger. He tries to suppress the society, because he has power. Bakhti's character is very different from Vijay's real character. He argues that there should be something different from him in character building. The 'Bale' man of 'Degree Milea', who walks with the Allare boys, continues to present himself as a curmudgeon. The use of these two characters also made Vijay happy. ``When creating a character, I think that I should have a character that is different from myself. It may be the character's psychology, society and culture. While making the character, it was used in two characters so that there should be something different from me," he said. Recently, Vijay has won the praise of the audience again through the characters of 'Bakhte' and 'Bale'.

especially nosebleeds, hair deadlocks. Some time ago, Vijay took a photo in this look in a mood. Looking at that photo, Nischal said to Vijay, 'This is the mood, this is the expression.' However, they started digging into the background of 'Bakhte'. Why do you get angry when you are angry? He created the character by looking at the aspects such as the power that the character got. The main points of the character are being searched for in the graph of acting. As Bakhte, why does he get angry because he has power, Vijay almost made Arpan Thapa angry while acting while looking at this part of the character! Vijay experienced the character while mentally adopting the character. After that, on the set, Vijay's body began to heat up with anger, his head started to ache. He has the experience that when the mind is bad, the mind is also bad. "When you believe in your 'method', if you do a little effective work, it affects your mind," says Vijay.

Even when he was doing the BK character of 'Kabaddi', Vijay was still being beaten by that character till later. In the third series of 'Kabaddi', when Kazi was leaving the village and said the dialogue 'Dazu you are going now?', Vijay got fever. He started preparing his mind for a few days to bring that cry, the vibration of his voice, "Everything is over from life now." I am breaking up with Kazi.' Dayahang Rai, while preparing mentally, also said, 'Vijay is like this, it will be difficult.' The shooting was over, he got fever. That character continued to affect him mentally until he came to Kathmandu. Acting is especially about the eyes. Then there is the body. The feeling of the mind is changing," Vijay said about acting.

acting gurus/critics always raise questions about Nepali film acting. "We are weak in acting," they believe. Vijay says that the problem exists when people in acting are 'lazy' and don't try to rise above their 'comfort zone'. We artists had to train ourselves. Ideological debate, reflection should be done. "We should discuss our 'method'," he said. He also says that every actor has to work in a new way in a new film, in a new character. He himself also learns to act by rising from the comfort zone.

In recent times, the new generation is jumping into this field after seeing the success of actors like Vijay, in a bid to become an overnight actor. However, those artists have not seen the struggle of Vijay. They do not look at the preparations made to reach here. Vijay, who has been doing caricatures since childhood, was drawn to acting by that nature. At school, everyone praised the 'caricature'. There were a lot of ups and downs. Vijay started doing caricature in class 8. You are acting, man, you make me laugh. "Go to Kathmandu to act," friends used to urge. He came to Kathmandu because of his friends who kept inciting him.

In the beginning, he came to Kathmandu with the dream of studying science and becoming a doctor. At that time, his dream was to become a captain if not a doctor. Also good at studies. Together with three friends reached Amrit Science Campus (Askal). The enrollment date was over. All the three Lalbandis who came to Kathmandu to study science returned. After completing 12th, he decided to become a comedian and moved to Kathmandu. However, within a short time, he understood his ground. I wanted to join the group with the same thinking. Caricature was common in it. I felt that my preparation is not yet complete,'' says Vijay. Meanwhile, Vijay realized that caricature and acting are different fields and learned acting from Indian colorist MK Raina. Since then, Vijay has been fulfilling his acting passion through Rangkarm.

also went through those days of struggle, where one had to act even while chewing the cud. However, in this journey, he lived many characters through acting. Even if you look at the face, even in the character of another community, you will stand up like the same character through strong acting. Mangalsingh of 'Jari' is another such character. Mangalsingh's father is Subba, mother is Ghimire. What kind of child was born in this couple? Vijay started searching. Trying to express themselves in the community but unable to. A character living in a fight for survival. He says he is a brother, he speaks Limbu. Sanskar is lemon. He calls himself a lemon, but he has hair all over his arms. However, Mangalsingh became victorious by doing the same. This character speaks Limbu to show that I am Limbu. Chabrung plays. He wears Salam Sakma with daura, suruwal, hat,' he narrated the experience of creating Mangalsingh character.

collaborated with director Upendra Subba's father to create this character. For Lovez also consulted Dayahang, worked only on the psychology of that character. And Mangalsingh's character took the mileage when 'Jari' was going on. Vijay has found his way of acting in the different feelings of living such different characters. He started acting without understanding acting. I studied acting when I felt that I should understand acting. He came to the understanding that while acting in a character, that character should not be killed. Sometimes he even became lazy. This is the character that Vijay understood while doing 'Bride from Meghauli', 'Character is not done by flowing a lot of energy. Character can be built in ordinary energy, in ordinary ways. If the acting is done by understanding the psychology, society and culture of that character, it will be the best.'
