Applauding Praneet Bhatt ...

Applauding Praneet Bhatt as Shakuni Mama!

Arguably the most conniving, manipulative, scheming and shrewdest of them all in the history of time is Mahabharat's Shakuni - Shakuni Mama. He is probably the symbol for wickedness and slyness.

Shakuni's revenge laced with his untamed ambitions and all of this topped with wit is extremely difficult and complex to bring alive on screen. But if I may say so Praneet Bhatt is explosive and brings the character to life on screen in the most natural way possible.

Praneet Bhatt's dedication, sincerity, conviction and performance is seamless and uncontrived. His impeccable body language and diction simply shine through every emotion he expresses. His comic timing is simply brilliant, he has the skill in deceiving the viewer making us believe that he truly is Shakuni!

It is quite visible that he is very passionate about his character in the way he wears into Shakuni's clothes and fits into his shoes ... it's phenomenal. The way he verbalizes "mere bachhe" is just too classic!! His talent to shut an eye in conveying how imbalanced and biased Shakuni is ... is spectacular!

Praneet Bhatt you indeed are playing a role of your lifetime and that too playing it to the TEE.

Among the entire cast you are one of them who really stands out Praneet Bhatt!! ... here's wishing you all the best in your endeavors ... may you keep growing as in actor and keep rocking as Shakuni!!
