Harshvardhan Rane Shares His Journey to the Film
The romantic drama, written and directed by Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao, is produced by Deepak Mukut, with music by Himesh Reshammiya.
Celebrating the film’s box-office win, Harshvardhan Rane narrated an interesting story behind his casting.
Talking to IANS, the actor shared how the casting was already done for his part, as he was 4 months late for the auditions. However, when he learned about the film, he requested the makers to take a look at his audition. It didn’t matter to him if they rejected him afterward, but he just wanted the chance to perform in front of them.
“I have begged and pleaded to get this film. Of course, I was extremely convinced about the role. I reached the audition 4 months late, and the casting was already done. They asked me to leave the office and not waste my time. I said, ‘Please, just watch my audition.
I am ready to do it here.’ They said, ‘You are wasting your time because the guy, who has been selected, is sitting in the next office. And the hero is reading the script.’ I said, ‘Sir, I am not asking you to change anything. My request is that you just let me do an audition and throw it away.’ After a lot of requests, he agreed, and his assistant Ravi ji took my audition,” Rane shared.
