Anas Rashid’s interview

MEET ANAS RASHID

THE NEW PRITHVIRAJ CHAUHAN

By Dhanashri Kulkarni

Anas rashid, who made his debut as Kartik Ahluwalia in Kahin to hoga, has a hard act to follow, replacing the much adored Rajat Tokas as the young Prithviraj chauhan in the star show. we speak to handsome actor from Malerkotla, Punjab for more on the show, his experiences and aspirations.

What was your reaction after being selected to play this role?

I was amazed and shocked at the same time. I recieved a call from Sagar Arts and to be honest i was a bit skeptical about doing justice to this role. But I could not refuse the offer and now i'm enjoying my new role very much.

How did you prepare for the role? Any research?

not really. I had read his history in school and college books as i am an Arts graduate in History. It's quite interesting and adventurous. things are going to be exciting in the serial too as Sanyogita's swayamwar is going to happen followed by the big battle of Mohd Ghori.

Have you met Rajat?

Yes, we did three press conferences together. I also observed him on shoot for 2-3 days to get a hang of his mannerisms and improvise on them as the senior Prithviraj. It was quite a challenge.

There was a lot of speculation about Angad Bedi playingthe senior Prithviraj Chauhan. What's your take on it?

Yes Angad was the first choice but then he went to London for some time. In the meantime, Rajat became increasingly popular so the adult Prithvi's introduction kept getting postponed. According to Meenakshi Sagar (writer) the replacement needed continuity in physical appearance. They must have thought that Angad would have suited the role then.

Tell us about your experiences while working in Baroda?

It's very hectic as there are no vanity vans or AC studios. We have to shoot in jungles and remote areas. I did the stunts on my own too. You need a lot of power and determinantion for this and I am happy I managed.

You have worked with two different production houses now. Any vast differences?

Both are totally diffrent. In Kahin To Hoga, i worked for 5 to 6 hours but here i'm slogging it out for 18to 20 hours daily.

Lastly , do you have aspirations to join Bollywood?

I want to act in Bollywood films, but it will not be my final destination. I also want to go to Hollywood, write scripts, but right now, i am concentrating solely on this role.

thanx! 😃
but it has been posted b4

yeah........Hollywood is jus waiting for you Anas! Way to go! 👏
Please accept my much needed best wishes 👍🏼

Arrogant! arrogant! arrogant! 😡 😡

Reading his interview I somehow get a feel that playing prithviraj is only a job for him,😡 unlike Rajat who would take the same role as challenge and be humble enough to admit his shortcomings rather than the studio environment.... Never heard Rajat talking about how difficult it is to shoot the scenes and AC studios.😆.. He should take this role as more seriously and as a responsibility given that this serial has great viewer ship and talks about a glorious phase of indian history..😊

agreed with Monika for this statment of Anas abt AC studio's n all...i'll say Get a Life man
ppl do work so hard tht de neva realise were de r shooting or eles
u shud get into tht role tht u shudn't realise were wer u r shooting
