Durnk, who me?

Vivan Bhatena downed eight pitchers of beer in one take on the sets of Maayka for three days in a row. Hic.

Ek glassey, do glassey...: Vivan in Maayka

Vivan Bhatena aka Shabd in Maayka takes his scenes a wee bit seriously these days. Recently, while shooting for a party sequence the actor guzzled down eight pitchers of beer in one take. This was not all. The actor was made to drink through the day over a period of three days! We can't even begin to imagine the hangover that followed. To quote Vivan, he is still recovering!

After the sequence, the female co-stars on the set were apprehensive about hanging around the actor in case the beer had some interesting side-effects, while the other unit members teased him mercilessly.

Vivan said, "We had to consume real alcohol as we had to take close-up shots, so we could not make do with other drinks. I downed a couple of mugs of beer but luckily, I did not get hammered. I made sure that my performance was up to the mark and the sequence was worth it. Just that I was feeling very sleepy, groggy and tired after the shot, so people thought I was sloshed. I am still recovering from the scene. My co-actors were teasing me and were waiting for me to fall down."

Says director Rajan Shahi, "We were shooting for the party sequence which required him to get drunk. He finished off eight pitchers of beer within a span of ten minutes in one take. I thought his stomach would burst after the sequence. He was on a liquid diet for the three days of shooting for the party sequence. He was on a high as I made him drink a lot through the day. Needless to say, he gave a brilliant performance in spite of all the alcohol."

Adds Rajan, "While other actors try to wriggle out of actually downing the booze, Vivan wanted to give the scene a complete authentic feel. He readily agreed to shoot non-stop for the sequence. Having beer early in the morning can be a bad experience."

The actors even had a collapse countdown going. There was also some fun betting on the sets.

The joke on the sets went that Vivan is doing a good job, only thanks to the beer! Perhaps he should drink more often?

Cheers to that.

cheers
