Actor Ravi Sah who was seen in critically acclaimed film ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, has also played notable roles in Netflix series ‘Jamtara’, ‘Life of an Outcast’, ‘Dabangg 2’. He is currently seen playing a villainous character in ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte.
On talking about his role, Ravi said, “I’m essaying a very brutal and villainous role named Keval. I paid attention to every detailing of the character and his relationship with other characters. He doesn’t have many dialogues but is a very deep and intense role where one can’t predict what is in his mind. He is very unpredictable. That’s the reason we have kept less dialogue – A silent killer. I tried to understand the character psychologically. Since there was less dialogue, it was a responsibility to convey it through expressions, body language and attitude. Also, my getup and look detailing added it to the role.”
On sharing his working experience with Nawazuddin he adds, “Nawazuddin and I worked together in ‘Paan Singh Tomar’. So he very well knows my potential. He is a well-established actor so his praises mean a lot to me. I’m really grateful that he appreciated my work through twitter. It was a kind of acknowledgement that I got for my work. During our early days of career, he used to motivate me saying ‘apne aap ko kharch mat kar bacha ke rakh tu lambi race ka ghoda hai’. I really imbibed his words and did selective films at that time. Back then it was such a compliment for me to work with Irrfan (Khan) sir, Nawazuddin and Tigmanshu Dhulia in the same project in ‘Paan Singh Tomar’. So after 8 years, again Nawazuddin, myself and Tigmanshu Dhulia (as an actor) came together in ‘Raat Akeli Hai’. Most of the scenes in ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ is with Nawazuddin and Radhika. Also some brutal scenes of myself alone. I had a very comfortable time shooting with Nawazuddin, Tigmanshu and Aditya Shrivastava as I had worked with them before.”
