Rajeev Khandelwal says he did a crash course to be a DJ in his
forthcoming film
After playing the intense cop in Shaitan, Rajeev Khandelwal will be
seen as a musician in Soundtrack, a role he says ranks as one of his
most emotionally exhausting.
The actor, who also reveals that he did a crash course in how to be a
DJ, said, "Doing this film was emotionally exhausting. When you are
playing a character who goes through this gamut of emotions, it is
very difficult to maintain those emotions over many days," said
Khandelwal.
"There are also times when you just want to do one or two scenes
because it becomes difficult to deal with it any more. There were
occasions when I did that. Even the director understood that. But
that's a part and parcel of this profession," the actor said.
Soundtrack, directed by Neerav Ghosh is the remake of award-winning
Canadian film It's All Gone Pete Tong. It has been changed a little
bit to suit Indian sensibilities and is the story of a musician who
comes to Mumbai and tries to make it big. It's a triumph of human
spirit story.
Khandelwal, who is playing a musician and in some parts a DJ in the
film, prepared a lot for the role. "All the preparations first came
from Neerav. I followed his directions and also did a workshop with
him for a month. We worked on the character and he made me understand
it. He told me how he looks at the character and around the same time
I was also taking a crash course on DJing," he said.
Khandelwal also revealed that he did not see the original film
because he wanted to bring out his own interpretation of the
character and not get inspired by anyone. "I haven't seen the film
even though Neerav kept insisting that I should see it. I was a
little hesitant. I thought that I may end up taking some inspiration
from that character. So I deliberately kept myself away from that
film," he said.
