Revati Mahurkar on Harrdy Sandhu's advice: 'Be selective about your work'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Revati Mahurkar has opened up about the career advice she received from Punjabi star Harrdy Sandhu during the making of their music video 'Tevar' — a collaboration she describes as the most fulfilling work of her career so far.
The Advice That Stayed With Her
Sandhu reportedly told Mahurkar: 'Be selective about your work. Make sure you work with good artists.' The actress says those words reshaped how she approaches project choices and the people she chooses to collaborate with.
'After working with Harrdy Sandhu, I understood why it matters who you work with. The caliber of his production, the way his team treated me — I felt equal in every way. We became friends because Harrdy is such a genuine person with a creative mind,' she said.
Behind the Scenes of 'Tevar'
Mahurkar recalled the final stretch of filming as a testament to the bond the team had built. 'Post a 48-hour shoot, Harrdy, our choreographer, my manager and I all decided to stay up and hang out together till the three of us had to leave for Bombay. The bond was real between this team and we had a blast chatting, eating, and listening to music together,' she said.
She also noted Sandhu's grounded approach to the industry: 'He is not in the game to play games with people and power. And the end product of our shoot remains my favourite work I have done so far.'
What's Next for Harrdy Sandhu
Sandhu is set to headline the upcoming Punjabi epic 'Ranjheya', alongside Simratt Kaur Randhawa and Angad Bedi. Written and directed by Gurjindh Mann, the film is described as a timeless love story exploring passion, loss, longing, and destiny.
Ranjheya marks the first collaboration between three production entities: Shadow Fox Entertainment (producers Siddhant Pilani and Manav Shrotriya), Dream Reality Movies (producer Rajesh Arora), and distribution powerhouse Panorama Studios.
Harrdy Sandhu's Screen Journey
Sandhu first headlined the regional hit Mahi NRI in 2017 before crossing over to Bollywood with the sports drama 83 in 2021 and the action thriller Code Name: Tiranga in 2022. With Ranjheya, he returns to Punjabi cinema in what promises to be one of the more ambitious productions in the space.
