Following this, the director of ‘Banjo’, Ravi Jadhav also interviewed some Banjo players which also went into the research of Riteish helping him to play the role.

“Ravi had shot many videos with them (Banjo players). He used to mail me. He interviewed many banjo players and used to show me their style. We tried to work hard on it. It was not about visiting a certain place to build a character. We interacted with a lot of banjo players. We had meetings, practice sessions to get the vibe, how the band plays,” added the actor.

‘Banjo’ stars Nargis Fakhri as a DJ from New York, who comes to Mumbai to find local talent. It is slated to release on September 23, 2016.
