Ganesh Venkatraman aka Amar of the futuristic series Antariksh seems to have taken his action role quite seriously. So inspired was he by the action sequences in the show that he has gone in for full-fledged training in Wushu and kickboxing. "Wushu is a completely stylised Chinese martial arts form," he informs enthusiastically. "Amar is a superhero and he is always around to save the world. And when I play such a character it kind of rubs off on you. I felt the need to go in for some self defense martial art forms," he says. Ganesh states that for the character, body language and flexibility is important and martial arts can only help him do just that. With Antariksh not scoring high TRPs, looks like Ganesh is trying out every trick in the trade and is already looking at a future as a martial arts trainer! (Sampurn) |
