Mumbai, May 20 (NationPress) Actress Raashii Khanna recently unveiled a series of behind-the-scenes snapshots from her forthcoming project, emphasizing that certain roles demand everything from an actor.
On Instagram, Raashii posted a variety of images where she appeared bruised, bloodied, and deeply concentrated. She donned a simple T-shirt and black pants, showcasing visible wounds on her nose and hand.
In her caption, she expressed: “Some roles don’t just ask. They demand. Your body. Your breath. Your bruises. And when you become the storm, you don’t flinch at the thunder. Coming soon…”
Raashii has engaged in extensive physical training and stunt preparation for this role. Most recently, she portrayed a tenacious journalist in The Sabarmati Report, a political drama film inspired by true events, initially directed by Ranjan Chandel and later taken over by Dheeraj Sarna.
This film centers around the Godhra train burning incident of February 27, 2002, involving the Sabarmati Express. It also features Vikrant Massey and Riddhi Dogra.
In other news, the actress recently appeared in a vlog by Farah Khan, revealing that she was initially ‘not interested’ in Madras Cafe, her cinematic debut in 2013.
“I ran away from the first audition. There were numerous people. It was an ad. A lip gloss ad. I felt intimidated by the crowd. I’ve always been quite shy,” Raashii mentioned.
Farah responded, “Wasn’t it Mukesh Chabra?”
Raashii clarified, “No. They sent me to smaller auditions. There were auditions, but they didn’t call many people for open auditions. I received a call from casting director Jogi Ji. He informed me that Madras Cafe casting was taking place.”
“I stated ‘I am not interested in films. I don’t want to pursue it. I’m just here to pass the time’. I declined twice, but on the third attempt, I accepted out of respect,” Raashii shared.
