Rupin Suchak Alia Bhatt role in his career change
In a conversation with Mumbai Mirror, he talks about how Alia Bhatt played a key role in steering him towards interior design, which eventually became an important part of his work. Rupin Suchak shares, “After almost five years of production design, when I was commissioned to design filmmakers (R) Balki and Gauri Shinde. That first project changed the direction of my career. During the planning, Alia Bhatt visited the office and reacted strongly to the design. Soon after, she commissioned me to design her home. This project opens a new chapter. One commission led to another and before long interior design became a major part of my practice”.
Rupin Suchak on the difference between a movie set and a home
In the same conversation, Lupine admitted that creating a space for a film was a completely different challenge than designing someone’s actual home. He noted, “I often joke that I have spent most of my career building worlds that people either live in for years or encounter for two seconds on screen. Ironically, the biggest challenge in moving from a movie set to home is not creativity, but patience. Filmmaking deadlines are relentless. Interior design requires long conversations, planning, collaboration, and attention to how people actually live. “He concludes: “Whether I’m making a film, an ad, or a home, the goal remains very similar. I want people to feel something. The medium has changed. The stories have changed. But my desire to create memorable worlds has not.”
