Namaste, Bollywood lovers! This is your favorite Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the beans on the latest Bollywood buzz with my usual pinch of salt and dash of sarcasm. Today, we dive deep into the behind-the-scenes drama and revelations from the much-anticipated film ‘Rautu Ka Raj,’ starring none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rajesh Kumar.
Another Day, Another Cop Role for Nawazuddin Siddiqui! 🎬
Just when we thought Nawazuddin had hung up his cop hat for good, he’s back, baton and all, in ‘Rautu Ka Raj,’ streaming on Zee5 from June 28. Yawn or Yay? You decide! Joining him in this saga of law and order is Rajesh Kumar, who seems to be equally thrilled and terrified about sharing screen space with Nawaz once again.
Nawazuddin’s Sleepless Nights – Blame Kamal Haasan!
In a recent chit-chat, Nawaz spilled some interesting tea about how Kamal Haasan once ruined his sleep. Yes, you heard that right! Kamal, in his usual enigmatic style, assigned Nawaz a task that left him tossing and turning all night. But fear not, dear readers, this sleepless ordeal was a blessing in disguise. It helped Nawaz master the art of playing a character in multiple ways. A big shoutout to Kamal Haasan for turning Nawaz into the versatile actor we love today! 😴✨
Rajesh Kumar: Nervous Much?
Our dear Rajesh confessed he was a bundle of nerves trying to match Nawaz’s performance. Can you blame him? Sharing the screen with Nawaz is like trying to outshine the sun. But Rajesh was up for the challenge, even if it meant a few sleepless nights of his own. After all, who wouldn’t want another shot at acting alongside Nawaz after their stint in ‘Haddi’?
Back to School in Uttarakhand
For Rajesh, the allure of ‘Rautu Ka Raj’ wasn’t just Nawaz. The film’s shooting location in Uttarakhand was a homecoming of sorts, given his Dehradun roots. Ah, the nostalgia of school days, combined with the thrill of a long outdoor shoot! What a combo!
Nawaz’s Take on His Role
Nawaz seems to have a special bond with his cop characters. This time, his character in ‘Rautu Ka Raj’ is a cop with a twist. Unlike his previous tough-guy roles, this cop is on a journey towards purity and inner fire. Intriguing, isn’t it? But let’s be real, folks. Whether he’s playing a gangster or a cop, Nawaz brings a unique flair to every role. Guess that Kamal Haasan task paid off after all!
The Kamal Haasan Task – Say What?
Nawaz shared a quirky anecdote about Kamal Haasan challenging him to deliver five versions of a speech from a play called ‘Tughlaq.’ Kamal, being the enigmatic mentor, left Nawaz and his buddy Swananand in a state of shock. But hey, those sleepless nights paid off, making Nawaz the versatile genius he is today. Hats off to you, Kamal sir! 🎭
No Prep Needed for Deepak Negi
Nawaz candidly admitted that he didn’t need much prep for his role as Deepak Negi. The village setting did all the work. His body just reacted naturally to the environment, making acting seem like child’s play. Talk about effortless talent!
Rajesh’s Prep for Sub Inspector Dimri
Rajesh, on the other hand, was sweating bullets. He had to match Nawaz’s performance, which was no small feat. But he took it in stride, embracing the challenge and delivering what we hope is a stellar performance.
The Charm of Uttarakhand
Shooting in Uttarakhand came with its own set of challenges. Nawaz had to nail the local dialect without slipping into a Haryanvi accent. Imagine the confusion if Uttarakhand suddenly sounded like Haryana! 😂
The USP of ‘Rautu Ka Raj’
So, what makes this film stand out? It’s a slow-burn thriller with zero drama. Yes, you read that right. The story unfolds at a snail’s pace, reflecting the serene beauty of the mountains. The investigation, much like the tranquil hills, is calm and steady. No high-octane drama here, folks. Just pure, unadulterated storytelling.
Nisha’s Nutshell
