Harshvardhan Rane’s Late Audition for ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’
According to Rane, when he first learned about Sanam Teri Kasam, he was eager to be a part of the film. Despite the casting being completed, Rane did not give up on his dream of securing the role. He decided to approach the filmmakers and request an audition, even if it meant facing rejection. The actor’s passion and determination were evident as he recalled how he begged the makers to watch his audition, even though the casting process had already been concluded.
Rane shared, “I have begged and pleaded to get this film. I was extremely convinced about the role. I reached the audition 4 months late, and they asked me to leave. I said, ‘Please, just watch my audition. I am ready to do it here.’” The filmmakers were initially hesitant, as the male lead had already been cast, but after some persuasion, Rane was given the opportunity to audition.
A Surprising Turn of Events
After completing his audition, the directors, Radhika Ma’am and Vinay Sir, took the time to review his performance. Rane continued, “They came after an hour and asked me to do it again. After an hour and a half, Vinay sir had tears in his eyes. He hugged me and said, ‘You have caused a lot of loss because all the clothes and costumes were done. We will have to change everything because the poster shoot was after 2 days.’”
Despite the setback, the filmmakers were so impressed with Rane’s audition that they decided to cast him as the lead in Sanam Teri Kasam. The actor humorously recalled a moment when, after being cast, he had to go to the washroom, and was too nervous to look the previous hero, who had been reading the script, in the eye.
