Ravi Gosain and Mahima Choudhary in Junaid Memon's 'The Film' |
Once an actor always an actor. Ask Delhi-based Ravi Gosain who came to Mumbai eight years ago to become like most others a film actor. Having worked with various theatre personalities from Satyadev Dubey, Naseeruddin Shah and Mahendra Joshi to Makarand Deshpande and Rajat Kapoor, Ravi says all he learnt about acting is from the different "theatre workshops I did with all these greats."
Then Gulzarsaab's Maachis happened and Ravi got a chance to show his histrionics. The talented actor has worked with the likes of Govind Nihalani (Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa), Amol Palekar (Daayra) and now Shyam Benegal in the forthcoming 'Netaji Bose The Forgotten Hero'. In fact coming up next from Ravi is not one but a whole lot of interesting films like 'The Film', directed by first timer Junaid Memon. "There is Mahima Chaudhary who plays a writer in the film which is about these six friends. I play a music director and the only positive character in this thriller."
Then there is Chingari with Kalpana Lajmi. "I'm one of the main characters - there is Sushmita Sen, Mithun Chakraborty, Anuj Sawhney and Ila Arun. I play a pansy in this film but unlike others who dress in feminine clothes, I sport a beard and a moustache. It's only my gestures which are like a pansy," he says, adding "It's an interesting character based in Bihar. Then there are films called The Agreement directed by Mukul Anand's assistant Gautam Verma in which I am doing an important comic role and Ek Main Aur Ek Tu which will see me in the main negative role." |
