Divyenndu Wants a Taste of Blood, Says He’ll Be India’s Best-Ever Screen Vampire (EXCLUSIVE)
Versatile actor, Divyenndu, who's been part of films like “Mirzapur” and “Madgaon Express," now wants to play a vampire's role in an intense horror film.
In an exclusive interview with Variety India, the actor reveals his desire to play a vampire and says he has been working on it to portray this character onscreen.
“I like serious, intense horror, and then I want to do something supernatural also. I wanna play a vampire. I'll be the best vampire India has ever seen,” the actor asserts.
When asked why he has this rather odd goal, he replies, “Because I've been working on this one character and I have had it in my mind for years. I look a great vampire. I'm white, you can very easily make me pale.”

Divyenndu shares that he has developed the character in his mind without getting into its physicality. “In my mind, yes, not physically. But the kind of characterisation I've done for it,” adding that, “unlike India, the West has many good Vampire movies.”
He also expressed his interest in directing a film, but not a vampire one. “I really want to direct. Not a vampire film, but in life, I want to direct. But I really wish I find a great script somewhere and we make a vampire film nicely. We need a good vampire film in India,” he reiterates.
Meanwhile, he is gearing up for the release of his Netflix series, “The Glory,"created by Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja, and premiering on May 1.
The show also features Pulkit Samrat, Suvinder Vicky, Jannat Zubair, Ashutosh Rana, Sikandar Kher, Sayani Gupta, Yashpal Sharma, Kashmira Pardeshi and Kunal Thakur.
