- wat's ur role in lrl?
I am playin capt. Abhimanyu rai chauhaan,who is a music teacher n tries 2 form a band. At d same time, he is also a secret agent.but 2 keep this a secret he is given a look that is quite unlike that of an army officer.he has long hair n wears casuals.his behavior n attitude are also completely chilled out.the character has been brought 2 give serial a twist.capt. rajveer can also be seen having more fun,as abhimanyu is his old friend.
- Is it difficult 2 ply a role like tis?
It is a very different n a unique role; I don't think anyone has played this kind of a role on t.v. b4.
It is a very challenging role wid different shades.my entry 2 happened in a grand way. I m happy 2 hav the oppurtunity 2 do such a role.
- Did u do any homework?
Yes in fact a lot of homework had 2 be done. I hd a brief disscussionwid the producers,directors n then we zeroed in on 42 points(!) that I was supposed 2 follw b4 every scene.so now,b4 every scene,I hav 2 wat to do wat not 2 do.i also had 2 work on various musical instruments,as capt. Is a music teacher.i did not had the time 2 learn them,but I saw performances of bands n musical shows 2 learn how they use instruments I also had 2 work a lot on my body language,as the character has a very cool n chilled out demeanour.
- Do u identify wid ur character?
If I say then I wud reveal myself! Well,all I can say is that I m a lot like abhimanyu,but in every character I hav played so far there has least one percent of gaurav!
