After presenting three interesting fiction properties in the festive month of October and captivating its audience with stories that capture the pulse of the Indian middle class, Zee TV now takes its audience on a trip of fantasy. The channel very recently launched the second season of its immensely successful and intriguing weekend thriller, Brahmarakshas. Produced by Balaji Telefilms, the show premiered its first episode on 22nd November with television actress Nikki Sharma essaying the lead character of Kalindi opposite popular actor Pearl V. Puri playing the role of Angad. Having made quite an intriguing start, the show is all set to make an exciting and captivating revelation on this Sunday.
While the initial episodes have introduced viewers
to its leading lady Kalindi’s battle against an evil force that seems to be
lurking around her, there has been much speculation around the true identity
and the human form that this Brahmarakshas will assume. In an exciting turn of
events, viewers will find out in the latest episode of the show that the
Brahmarakshas is none other than the character Vardhan Chaudhry played by the
multi-talented television superstar Chetan Hansraj.
Out of the many negative characters essayed by
Chetan, this role seems to be one of his most challenging yet exciting
characters to portray. Talking about his love for this genre and what intrigued
him to take up this character, Chetan said "The genre of supernatural
shows itself has always been my favourite. When I first heard the story, I was
instantly hooked, and I felt it had the perfect mix of thrill and drama that
are required to complete a show of this kind. This is the best werewolf story
we could have right now on Indian television. I am really looking forward to
portraying this character because it is something very different from what I
have essayed earlier and it brings its own set of challenges. Moreover, I am
returning to Zee TV after nearly four to five years and I am glad to be a part
of the family once again”.
The actor’s character has a rather ferocious
avatar which takes Chetan nearly four hours to step in and out of the look.
Talking about his look, Chetan said. “It takes minimum 4
hours and a team of four to five exceptionally skilled people to set the heavy
prosthetics on my face. Shooting in the costume, that includes performing
various action sequences comes as a big challenge by itself but none of this
takes away from the interest and fascination that I have for this role. “While
it might be quite a tough process, transforming from Vardhan into Brahmarakshas
and back into Vardhan is actually the most exciting part of this character.”
The identity of the Brahmarakshas might be out in
the open, but why does Vardhan turn into the Brahmarakshas and why is he after
Kalindi?
