INCREDIBLE PERFORMER HARSHVARDHAN RANE

Although Harshvardhan Rane is only a decade old in the film industry, he has managed to earn a massive fan following across the nation. After giving many Telugu and Tamil hits, Harshvardhan Rane made his Bollywood debut with romantic tragedy ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ in the year 2016. This year, he is being watched in an action drama ‘Taish’ directed by Bejoy Nambiar. Let’s find out more about his inspiration, current obsessions, future plans as he opens his heart here.

How did Taish happen to you?

Bejoy sir and I were supposed to work on a film called Fitrat, which was supposed to be a remake of Agni Natchathiram in 2016. Vicky Kaushal and I were supposed to be part of the project. Then Dhanush sir came in the picture, he and I were to play half-brothers in the film. There were some issues regarding the rights and the film got stalled. I was heartbroken because I was really looking forward to working with him. We kept in touch and when he discussed Taish with me, I instantly fell in love with my character Pali. It reminded me of my late father, a gentle, warm and kind man, but he was also known for his rage. I thought it’s a great opportunity to touch those emotions. Rage is not an everyday emotion and it’s a build-up of many incidents. While prepping for the role, I got in touch with a lot of psychologists to understand the root cause of rage and to understand the psychology of the person. Initially, I was a little uncomfortable while touching upon the emotions, but I gave my 100% to it because I believed in Bejoy sir’s vision.
