Summary
- Jitin Gulati worked with Akshaye Khanna on 'Mahakali'.
- Gulati found Khanna surprisingly chatty, defying his reserved image.
- The actor was also chosen for Prabhas-starrer 'Fauzi'.
Jitin Gulati, known for his roles in 'Broken But Beautiful' and 'Bambai Meri Jaan', is set to star in two major pan-India projects: 'Mahakali' and 'Fauzi'. In an exclusive interview, Gulati detailed his experience on 'Mahakali,' a film co-starring Akshaye Khanna. The teaser for 'Mahakali' has garnered positive feedback, creating high expectations for the mythological drama.
Gulati's casting in 'Mahakali' followed his role in the Telugu film 'Fauzi.' He actively pursued director Prasanth Varma after being impressed by his film 'Hanuman.' A recommendation from colleagues who saw his work on 'Fauzi' also played a role in his selection for 'Mahakali,' directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru.
Working with Akshaye Khanna was a notable experience for Gulati. He noted that Khanna, often perceived as reserved, was surprisingly talkative during their time on set. Gulati found their interactions engaging, particularly discussing their mutual admiration for filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's works.
The film 'Mahakali' involved significant physical transformation and preparation for Gulati, including workshops and dialect training. He highlighted the collaborative dynamic between director Puja Aparna Kolluru and conceptualizer Prasanth Varma, emphasizing that while Varma provided the overarching vision, Kolluru had the final creative authority on set.
