TOI:Gautam will miss his action scenes

While his journey on TV has given him opportunities to explore various genres, Gautam Rode has particularly enjoyed the last eight months of his shoot for 'Mahakumbh' (which will end next month) due to some adrenaline-pumping action sequences.

The die-hard action fan says, "I have experimented with everything from romance to comedy in my previous shows, but with Mahakumbh, I got an opportunity to dabble in action I have always been an action buff and so, am enjoying every bit of the experience. I am definitely going to miss the character Rudra and the action sequences once the show is over."

In fact, the actor had even injured himself during a scene, but that didn't deter him from doing all the action scenes himself rather than resorting to a body double. Gautam, who hasn't been trained in any form of martial arts or action, says, "I have learnt it on the job and that's better than any other training, which is never in real time. We have done a lot of commercial and filmi action with harnesses and cables, which is rarely seen on television. It takes a lot of time but for me, it is a great learning experience."


The actor hardly had a five-day gap between his previous outing Saraswatichandra and Mahakumbh and hence we are wondering whether a break is on the cards.

Gautam says, "I am a workaholic by nature. While I am craving for a vacation I am not sure whether I will be able to sit idle. There are offers coming from various mediums but I definitely want to do something different from what I have already done."
