Officer Arka Ganguly❤πŸ‘πŸ˜Š


 MY CHARACTER IN PALABADAL,WAS OF AN HONEST,UPRIGHT POLICE OFFICER,ARKA GANGULY...A NEMESIS TO THE CRIMINALS AND MORE THAN THAT TO THOSE WHO WOULD HARM HIS FAMILY!! 

WE WERE SHOOTING THIS SCENE,IN WHICH ARKA,IN PLAIN CLOTHES,GOES TO A DISHONEST HAWKER ON THE BEACH,TO GET BACK HIS BROTHER'S WATCH,WHICH HE HAD GIFTED ON HIS BIRTHDAY!

ARKA'S BROTHER HAD BARTERED HIS WATCH WITH A GIFT FROM THE HAWKER, FOR HIS WIFE,BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY WITH HIM AT THAT TIME!

WE WERE SHOOTING ON A BEACH IN ORISSA. THE CROWD WAS UNCONTROLLABLE WHENEVER THE CAMERA WAS BEING SET UP! SO WE DECIDED TO SHOOT THIS SCENE WITH A HIDDEN CAMERA... :) ! 

IT HAD TO BE A 'ONE-TAKE O.K.' SHOT! 

MY CO-ACTOR GUNJAN ,WHO BY THE WAY IS NOT AN ACTOR BY PROFESSION(HE WAS AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR) ,WAS A VERY OBEDIENT AND TRUSTWORTHY TEAM-MAN...HE JUST SAID "BOBBY DA I TRUST YOU 100% AS AN ACTOR  AND I WILL COMPLEMENT YOU IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE IN THIS IMPORTANT,YET PHYSICALLY DEMANDING SCENE" !! 

THERE WAS NO REHEARSAL...ONLY IMPROVISATION...AND I THOUGHT HE SUPPORTED ME SO MUCH SO THAT ,EVERYONE ON THE BEACH GOT FRIGHTENED OF MY DEMEANOUR AND MISUNDERSTOOD GUNJAN AS A REAL LIFE CROOK OF A HAWKER!! :) ;)

MANY WHISPERED HESITANTLY...AFRAID... AS I WALKED BACK TO MY MAKE-UP VAN AFTER THE SHOT ..."YOU DID RIGHT DADA. PEOPLE LIKE THESE SHOULD BE BEATEN BLACK AND BLUE!"  :) ;) ;)
