Both Bollywood actors Ranveer Singh and Akshay Khanna are in the headlines for their film ‘Dhurandhar’. Every character of the film is getting love from the public. Naveen Kaushik, who plays the role of ‘Donga’, the shadow of Dacoit Rahman in the film, has shared his experiences related to the film and has also shared the experience of working with Ranveer Singh on the sets.
Naveen Kaushik said in a special conversation with IANS that he learned from Ranveer Singh that if you take everyone along, you will reach where your destination is.
‘There is no question of not doing the film’
Explaining the reason behind saying ‘yes’ to the role of ‘Donga’ in ‘Dhurandhar’, the actor said – For the first time, casting director Mukesh Chhabra had called and told about this role and said that it is a character full of action and thrill. Till now I have done sophisticated roles, in which I did not get a chance to explore much. This character was completely new to me and there were so many characters in the film. In such a situation, the question of not doing the film does not arise.
Changes made for the character of ‘Donga’
Naveen had worked very hard to get into the character of ‘Donga’. He told that to adapt to the character of the film, changes had to be made in the dialogue delivery. I also had to pay attention to fitness, because my weight had increased earlier. I also had to understand the expressions of the characters, so I had to do a lot and started preparing for my role two months before the shooting. ‘Donga’ was a character which appeared with Akshay Khanna and Ranveer Singh.
Got recognition among the public from ‘Dhurandhar’- Naveen
On doing scenes with big stars, the actor said, ‘Both Akshay Khanna and Ranveer Singh are such stars who did not sit back after doing their respective scenes. He gave full support in every scene, whether it was his or not. I never saw him going in a vanity van. He said that I have worked in many films. The industry supported me, I kept getting work and because of this I am able to live with my family in Mumbai, but with Dhurandhar I have got recognition among the public. People are recognizing on the streets. It was not like this earlier.
