Actor Harshvardhan Rane is in talks to star in a Russian film. Rane told the Times of India, “It’s a high-octane drama. I have liked the script but yet to decide on other parameters. The makers have approached me with the script but I haven’t signed it yet.”
Attributing the offer to divine intervention, Rane said, “I can only say that there is some kind of guardian angel who is looking after me because I truly did not expect it. I am right now very happy about the fact that I have been offered a Russian film.”
He also said it was a big step and he would need time to decide. He said, “I have to sit down with my team and discuss it as it is a big step. I am just happy right now. It is not a decision I can take just like that and without thinking.”
He also said, “This is not that time of a cinema where you get 10 to 15 chances. You only get two to three chances and if you do something nice in that, then it is great. Otherwise, people are very unforgiving. So I want to make the most out of this chance and opportunity that I have got.”
Rane has already signed to star in
Bejoy Nambiar’s remake of the Mani Ratnam film Agni Natchathiram. He said, “I have signed the film [Nambiar’s film] and [am] waiting for the shoot to start.” In preparation for the shoot, he said he had already begun a fitness regimen and is working on his diet.
32-year old Harshvardhan is known for his work in Telugu cinema. He stumbled into acting almost by accident, after
running away from home at the age of 16 and working a number of different jobs. He went on to act in
Left Right Left, a television show about military cadets at a training academy. He made his Telugu debut with
Thakita Thakita, and followed it with memorable roles in
Anaamika, Bengal Tiger, and
Prem Ishq Kadhal among others. He made his Bollywood debut with
Sanam Teri Kasam,
opposite Mawra Hocane.
