Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 26 : Actor Vivaan Sharma, who was recently seen in Prime Video's 'Raakh', has opened up about his character as Sahil Arora and all the preparation that he undertook.
Speaking with ANI, Vivaan Sharma shared that the scene was shot in parts, but at the same time, in the same schedule.
"The rehearsal was planned on how we would or how the punches would be hit. We also had an action director with us, and we all had memorised our lines..."
On preparing for his character as a protective brother, Vivaan added, "Emotionally and mentally, I tried to work a lot on it. These are some things that I have learned, by reading the script, and from my experience of four years. I prepared myself by doing a lot of exercises for my facial muscles, so that I can portray the screams and agony without hurting my throat. And mentally, I prepared myself that if all this happens to my sister, then how would I react?"
Vivaan Sharma also shared his experience working with senior actors like Sonali Bendre.
"It was a very good experience. I learnt a lot from her. She used to be in character the whole time. But my character of Sahil and my mom's character became good friends at that level," he said.
Set in late-1970s Delhi, 'Raakh' revolves around the aftermath of a brutal crime that leaves families devastated and an entire city living in fear. It is loosely inspired by the infamous Ranga-Billa case that shocked India in 1978.
