Ravi Kissen cycle non-stop for two hours for Benegal film
For bringing authenticity to a particular shot, award winning filmmaker Shyam Benegal’s made Ravi Kissen cycle non-stop for two hours. This happened at the on going Hyderabad schedule of his next, Mahadev.
The Bhojpuri superstar tells us, “I play the role of a compounder to the village doctor in Mahadev. There was this scene in the film for which Shyam babu wanted me to come cycling. This was necessary to bring realism to the shot. But then I took it up as a challenge and did it without any complaints.”
About Benegal, Ravi says, “He is a task master and a perfectionist. He will make you do a scene till he finds it perfect but at the same time he pampers his actors a lot. He is known for his serious films but I was pleasantly surprised that for the first time he is making such a youthful comedy.
Since I come from a totally commercial set up, I was captivated by the story which Shyam babu approached me with. It was important for me to work with a director who is a Dadasaheb Phalke winner. I have serious films like Tere Naam and 1971 to my credit, but Mahadev is a certificate in my career.” (Read the article)
