New Delhi: Chetan Hansraj, one of small screen’s favourite baddie, has bagged the titular role of the main anti-hero in the second season of Zee TV’s popular show Brahmarakshas.
The actor is quite excited about taking up the role as he found the story captivating.
“The genre of supernatural shows itself has always been my favourite. When I first heard the story, I was instantly hooked, and I felt it had the perfect mix of thrill and
drama that are required to complete a show of this kind. This is the best werewolf story we could have right now on Indian television.
“I am really looking forward to portraying this character because it is something very different from what I have essayed earlier and it brings its own set of challenges.
Chetan Hansraj has won audiences’ hearts playing grey shades in shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kkusum, Kya Hua Tera Vaada, Jodha Akbar.
This one is a bit different though as it takes several hours for the actor to get into the look of his character Brahmarakshas.
The actor’s character has a rather ferocious avatar and it takes Chetan nearly four hours to get ready. Talking about his look, Chetan said. “It takes minimum 4 hours and a team of four to five exceptionally skilled people to set the heavy prosthetics on my face. Shooting in the costume, that includes performing various action sequences comes as a big challenge by itself but none of this takes away from the interest and fascination that I have for this role.
“While it might be quite a tough process, transforming from Vardhan into Brahmarakshas and back into Vardhan is actually the most exciting part of this character.”
For the uninitiated, the initial episodes of Brahmarakshas 2 have introduced viewers to its leading lady Kalindi’s battle against an evil force that seems to be lurking around her. In an exciting turn of events, viewers will find out in the latest episode of the show that the Brahmarakshas is none other than the character Vardhan Chaudhry played by Chetan Hansraj.
Produced by Balaji Telefilms, the show premiered its first episode on November 22 and stars Nikki Sharma as Kalindi and Pearl V. Puri as Angad.
