BALRAM / Basant Bhatt Appreciation Thread #4 - Page 49

But one month after his replacement the channel made it clear to the production house that they want BB back for the upcoming Kartikeya marriage track 😃 i was so happy to know the channel understood his worth and called him back ⭐️ and it has paid off like anything... even since he returned, kartikeya is rocking from left and right ⭐️

Oh OK I didn't know this.

@Bold wow that shows it, Sony realises the worth of actors, not sure why Swastik don't see that they are wasting a great actor

haan just for tokenism.

and anyone complains about it, they will increase screen time by few minutes by making some more offensive jokes on him

It is fabulous to see the powerful and intelligent Kartikeya back in action in Vighnaharta Ganesh, and I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming action-packed fight scenes! It is also awesome to finally have a Hindi mytho show that is showing lots of Kartikeya-related stories, including both of his wives and their stories without having a whole lot of extra unnecessary extreme weirdness thrown in to the mix for no apparent reason! (Of course there is fictionalisation, but usually it is reasonable, respectful, logical, and generally makes sense in terms of the overall VG storyline and what they have shown in the show previously.)

Balram doesn't have that large a role in the Mahabharat storyline in general/overall, although of course he plays an important role in certain parts of it; so, the timing of the Krishna-Arjuna Gatha storyline/part in RadhaKrishna is very good for Basant in terms of him not needing to be shooting loads for RK right now while shooting plenty for his ongoing starring turn in VG – all while still trying to stay safe in the midst of the ever-present COVID pandemic!

I think it’s much better for Balram to actually have less screen time in RK at the moment, rather than being pulled in more to unnecessarily be made fun of, etc, for the umpteenth unfunny time. Less screen-time with respect given when he is present, and actually being given due importance in the parts of the story where/when he should be given importance is much better than him being there more/all the time but being horribly disrespected. And this statement also applies in general, for all characters in all shows.

[Double post, sorry!]

Will use this for something later...

EDIT: Ok, I decided to use my accidental double-post post here to share the recent fake news article about Basant taking special martial arts training for upcoming fight sequences in Vighnaharta Ganesh, so that there is a record here.

This article (below) was shared by IndiaForums, IWMBBuzz and Telly-Chakkar in July 2020 and is still actually available on their websites (as at August 2020) but is actually fake news invented by the media, as confirmed by Basant on social media (and mentioned by Tusu in the next post, below). He did not undergo any special training for the upcoming fight sequences, and was not interviewed for this article, i.e. the quotes included in the article are fabricated.

FAKE NEWS:

Basant Bhatt takes Jujutsu for upcoming fight sequences in Vighnaharta Ganesh

https://www.indiaforums.com/article/basant-bhatt-takes-jujutsu-for-upcoming-fight-sequences-in-vighnaharta-ganesh_167181?ri=6&rv=6162

Sony Entertainment Television’s Vighnaharta Ganesh has been attracting eyeballs since its inception. While previously Nishkarsh Dixit who essays the role of Ganesha took stick fighting lessons for his fight sequence, now, Basant Bhatt who is playing the part of Kartikey has decided to take Jujutsu classes.

July 22, 2020

Sony Entertainment Television’s Vighnaharta Ganesh has been attracting eyeballs since its inception. The show has become an authentic source of mythological learning over its run of more than 2 years. It has gained popularity in depicting various avatars of Shiva, Parvati and Ganesh and the upcoming episodes for the show would focus on Kartikey’s fight with demons to save Devsena, and later his marriage with her. During the track Ganesha and Kartikey would be seen taking various avatars to defeat the enemy.

While previously Nishkarsh Dixit who essays the role of Ganesha took stick fighting lessons for his fight sequence, now, Basant Bhatt who is playing the part of Kartikey has decided to take Jujutsu classes. The actor wanted to perform all the fight sequences convincingly and with grace and thus decided to take up these classes which would also add to his skills and flexibility. Keeping his safety in mind, Vighnaharta Ganesh makers decides to hire a personal trainer for him who was well tested before he came in contact with the actor.

Excited about learning Jujutsu, Basant says, “There are a few fight sequences in the show, and I am glad that I would be a part of them. I wanted to do my best in these and want them to look convincing to the audience. Thus, I decided to take Jujutsu classes as these would not only improve my postures but also my flexibility and stamina. I am glad that the makers have hired a personal trainer for me. I am quite excited to perform the fighting sequence.”

Watch Vighnaharta Ganesh every Monday to Friday, starting 20th July at 7:30 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.

The IWMBuzz article is at https://www.iwmbuzz.com/television/news/vighnaharta-ganesh-basant-bhatt-takes-jujutsu-classes-upcoming-fight-sequences/2020/07/22.

Recently 3-4 days ago, some very known media portals including india forums published a false news about BB taking special training for a fight sequence. That news is not true, and BB's quote their was fabricated, clarified by BB himself.

So please don't believe it if you come across that article.

Ye valli aate hi kya kya nazare dikha rahi hai 😉😆
