Anirudh and his on-screen character are two poles apart

Director Leena Yadhav’s Rajma Chawal is all set to release her film, ‘Rajma Chawal’ on Netflix today which also marks debut of a talented actor Anirudh Tanwar.

The pilot – turned – actor who plays the role of a musician shares that he does not relate much to his reel character, Kabir. He states, “The film is based on a father-son relationship. In the real life, my father and I are best friends while my character in the film is not. Hence, it was really difficult to bring the emotions out. But all thanks to Rishi (Kapoor) sir, who made me feel so comfortable that I could improvise and do my job better.’’

Anirudh and his off screen character has another dissimilarity that is their compulsion towards social media. He adds, “Kabir and Anirudh are completely different from each other. While my character loves being on social media. I am not a fan of it. It is only now that my movie is releasing, that I have opened a social media account to know the audiences’ real-time reactions and to connect with them. Personally, I am still trying to get a hang of it.’’

The movie revolves around a father-son relationship where the father (Rishi Kapoor) is trying to reconnect with his estranged son (Anirudh) through social media.

Anirudh Tanwar, who will be seen making his debut with Leena Yadav’s next Rajma Chawal impressed everyone with his daredevil stunt in the movie. The actor refused to use a body double and insisted on doing the difficult stunt on his own.

Talking about the action sequence Anirudh says, “A scene in the movie demanded my character Kabir, to slide through automated doors at metro station. Initially, it looked fairly simple until we realized that the space was tricky. Our action director recommended me to not do the scene as it might cause serious hip injury. 

But, Leena wanted to take a single shot of the complete scene and using a body double would have led to jeopardizing her vision. Hence, I insisted on doing the stunt myself and after some persuasion Leena agreed for the same.”

Anirudh further adds, “The action director and his team were kind and professional enough. They first tried it by themselves and after studying it thoroughly they briefed me thoroughly, post which I could easily pull that off the scene in one go. I was really content and happy to be able to do it myself.”

Rajma Chawal will be releasing worldwide on November 30^th starring Rishi Kapoor, Amyra Dastur and Anirudh Tanwar in lead roles.
