TOI;Praneet Bhat turns maniac in Razia Sultan

Known for his calm demeanour and pleasant personality during his stint in 'Bigg Boss', Praneet Bhatt, better known as the small screen's Shakuni Mama from Siddharth Kumar Tewary's 'Mahabharat', has taken up another negative role. This time, for the same production house's 'Razia Sultan'.

He will be seen as a dual personality " an effeminate dancer, who's also a psychopath killer. We hear that the role takes its inspiration from Ashutosh Rana's psychopathic act in the film 'Sangharsh'. Says Praneet, "The similarity between both the characters are that they're both maniacs. I like taking up challenging roles as positive male characters often end up being mere caricatures. A negative character gives you the liberty to explore the actor within you. I am playing two personalities trapped in one body " one who is a little feminine and the other, a killer."


Praneet is known to experiment with the looks of his characters, and this time, it is no different. "I believe the look enhances a character, and so, I like to sit with the creative team when they're working on it. This time, I have twirled my moustache upside. It is unlike any look I have tried in the past," reveals Praneet.

T4s dear.

Praneet really does work on making the character his own. He excels in a negative role. Love his cameo in RS.

I just love his characters he portrays on screen..
