From the archive record

Om Puri, Indian actor speaks about his early days in Indian film industry. He says, "This question had been asked earlier also but I am not really able to pinpoint exactly but which day of which hour was the turning point but I feel that somewhere along the line when one was doing these plays and particularly with this theatre group Punjab Kala Manch and they used to do very good plays socially relevant all kind of historical, mythological, social plays so I think it was somewhere that and being I was quite an introvert and I thought perhaps that has something to do with my switching over that something which you feel intensly looking around, looking at you life, looking at your life around you form certain opinions and you desire to vocalize them maybe that has something to do as I said."
