It was a difficult character to portray: Raveena Tandon on playing a Prime Minister in Yash’s ‘KGF: Chapter 2’

25/03/2020

The gorgeous Raveena Tandon had a fun live chat yesterday and there were things we couldn’t help thinking about.
The actress spoke about the ongoing threat of the Coronavirus pandemic, singer Kanika Kapoor being tested positive for the virus, still waiting to work with Shah Rukh Khan on the big screen and about her second Kannada film ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ starring Yash.
On March 3, we had reported that the film was on the verge of a wrap. Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Srinidhi Shetty had reportedly finished shooting their parts and the movie was almost ready to go into post-production. In the film, while Sanjay plays Adheera, Raveena will be seen as Prime Minister Ramika Sen.
When Raveena was asked about her experience of shooting for the Yash-starrer, she said, “This is my nineth or tenth South film and my second Kannad movie.
However, it is more of a pan-India film because it is releasing in all languages. It was something that really excited me because I have not played a character like what I’ve played in this film. She is positively great. It was a character that was very difficult to play because you couldn’t exactly be the villain of the story because you are also a positive character. I am playing the Prime Minister in the movie.
Everyone says it is a take-off on Indira Gandhi, but no, it is not. It talks of the 70s and 80s and I think that is why everyone is assuming that I am playing a role similar to Ms Gandhi. I could be Sheikh Haseena for all you know!” Further talking about her experience of shooting with the cast and crew of ‘KGF: Chapter 2’, Raveena said, “It was a pleasure shooting with Prashanth (Neel) and Yash.
They are such wonderful guys and such a wonderful unit. I love shooting in the South and I’m looking forward to ‘KGF’ as much as you are.” When asked if fans can expect to see her reunite opposite Sanjay Dutt on the big screen with this film, Raveena said, “We are not together in this movie opposite each other. It is very exciting, but I don’t think I can reveal that much about the film.”
Yash’s ‘KGF: Chapter 1’ came at the end of the year 2018 and rocked Indian cinema altogether. Its rawness caught the eye of the audience all over the world and Yash’s fan-base increased enormously. After this, when the sequel to the film was announced, fans couldn’t wait for it to start rolling and their happiness knew no bounds when the makers revealed that Bollywood stars Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon too had been roped in for ‘KGF: Chapter 2’. Now, with various states in the country shutting theatres, this is a good time for the makers to finish the post-production work of the film while the lockdown continues. By the time we overcome the Coronavirus pandemic, hopefully, ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ will be ready for release as well.
