Angad Hasija: From villain to cop

He made his debut with an unconventional role and that pretty much defines actor Angad Hasija, who will now be seen in a thriller

From Bidaai to the forthcoming Savitri, how has your journey been?
It has undoubtedly been enduring, emotional and with lots of ups and down. I am from Punjab and when I came to Mumbai with the dream of becoming an actor, I had no one here who could help me. I made my debut playing an unconventional role, that of the schizophrenic Alekh in Bidaai. I had to look nervous and mentally unstable, so I worked on my mannerism and expressions. I still remember how initially Rajan sir (producer Rajan Shahi) had asked me to tone down my body for the role. During Bidaai, I also did my first reality show Zara Nach Ke Dikha. I gradually became a good dancer in the show and when I got eliminated Shilpa Shetty who was the judge cried and walked out, which was very touching for me.

Go on...
I am happy that after Bidaai, I did not get typecast. After playing a mentally challenged role, I took up a rustic character with grey shades in Phulwa. Shankar (his character in the serial) was from UP and for a person like me who has a strong Punjabi accent it was a challenge. That was followed by the positive Aditya in Ram Milayee Jodi, in which I played a sweet and self-made guy. Though my entry was quite late in the show, I was appreciated. Now, I am super charged to play the character of a cop, Dev, in Savitri because of the versatility in the character. Also, Dev is a stylish cop, the kind you haven't seen on Indian television. It's ironical that after playing the villainous Shankar who was hired for killing people in Phulwa, now I am playing a cop, who will help the protagonist Riddhi Dogra in her mission to find her missing husband! The novelty of the show is the grandeur in the way it is shot.

What about films?
I was offered a prominent role in a big film during Bidaai, but I couldn't take it up it as I was doing a daily soap. I have done Punjabi music videos and have been offered Punjabi films too. If the role makes a difference to the story (may be an important cameo) and the producer or director of the film are well-known, I will consider doing it. I am open to doing multi-starrers too where all characters are well-etched. Now-a-days TV actors get good roles in films, but I am not going to quit TV for films as TV has made me what I am.

Kshitee Jog who recently got married to actor Hemant Dhome is happy to get back to television after a brief break. Kshitee who was last seen in Star Plus' Navya will play an important cameo role in Life OK's upcoming show Savitri (produced by Flying Turtle Films founded by Shabbir Ahluwalia, Saket Sawnhey and Anil .V. Kumar) which is slated to launch on 18 February (2013).

A certain section of the media has already reported about young lad Roshan Preet's cameo in the show wherein he essays the role of Sarthak who commits suicide in the college after falling prey to ragging. Kshitee will play the young kid's mother who is in deep distress after the untimely death of her son. When she gets to know that Sarthak has turned into a ghost and needs salvation, she gets in touch with the protagonist Savitri (Ridhi Dogra) who helps the mother in sensing the ghost's problems.

When contacted, Kshitee Jog confirmed the news saying, "Yes, mine is a cameo role in Savitri. It feels nice to get back after marriage."

We hear that Kshitee's character will be introduced in the initial episodes.

Amrit Manthan to get a new airing time with Savitri getting the 8.30 pm slot on Life OK?

The success of Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev (Triangle Films Company) on Life OK at the 8 PM slot might trigger the channel to bring in an unexpected change when it comes to the time slot of their next big fiction property, Savitri (produced by Flying Turtle Films).

According to the buzz, the channel feels that the huge lead-in that Mahadev gets can be utilized in a better fashion by placing their next big show Savitri at the 8.30 pm slot. However, if this happens it means that Amrit Manthan (produced by Director's Kut) will have to be pushed to a later slot.

Our inside source informs us that this change will, in all probability, take place.

Savitri is slated to launch on 18 February at the 8.30 pm slot. Though we do not have a clear picture of the new slot that Amrit Manthan will be getting, we hear that Amrit Manthan might replace Welcome: Baazi Mehmaan Nawaazi Ki once the culinary show culminates.

When contacted, producer Rajan Shahi said, "I have not got any information on the slot change of Amrit Manthan".

We tried to get in touch with Ajit Thakur, General Manager, Life OK and even sent him a text message but did not get any revert.
