Rehman Khan who is currently seen in Nautanki- The comedy Theatre will be seen as Tantrik Baba this Sunday. Playing a Tantrik baba is challenging as it is not a regular character and Rehman Khan has utilized his personal observations and experiences to bring the character to life.

The look is also very authentic. Talking more about it he says, "While talking I don't make eye contact. I made some funny mantras for this character too. I will be seen as a serious tantric with rigid body language. I have taken inspiration from a Marathi Tantrik I had met in Jawahar Village. Judges loved the tantric baba's attitude."

On being asked about any interesting encounter he had with a Tantrik he says, "When I was in college my friend's brother took me to a Tantrik Baba once who had a Nariyal (coconut) with him. On asking a question if the answer was yes it used to turn right and if answer was no it would to turn left. Besides this I have heard of black magic practice and also of Aghori Babas. In my personal opinion it is God who can make a difference if He wants and not any Tantrik Baba".

Hope audiences enjoy the Tantrik Avtar Nautanki!
