New Delhi: It’s important for actor to take out time to relax and rejuvenate after shooting for intense sequences. Raghav Tiwari who plays the role of Aditya in Hamariwalli Good News says that Hollywood star Joaquin Phoenix’s piece of advice really helped him out in this regard.
“We’ve seen many actors get affected by their characters beyond a point of no return like Heath Ledger and it can happen to anyone who resorts to method acting. However, I always had Joaquin Phoenix’s advice in my mind. He had once said that while we should get into the skin of your character to showcase the exact raw emotions, we should also remember to cut off from it and accept reality,” the actor said.
“He had said that when we accept the reality, it will help us get back to our normal selves the moment the director calls cut and that’s what I did. Apart from this piece of advice, I have a very supportive cast including Srishti, Shakti ji and Juhi ji. All of them helped me unwind and I must say this sequence has been one of my favourites to shoot,” he added.
Currently his character Aditya is undergoing a stressful time after losing his job and seeing his parents fight and going for a divorce. He has become very volatile and aggressive. Aditya is seen fighting with everyone, taking out his frustration at his wife and mother as well as breaking down in front of them.
“These sequences for Hamariwali Good News were one of the most challenging ones for me and I must say as an actor I enjoyed shooting for them. However, to showcase all these emotions properly, I had to resort to method acting and I imagined myself in these scenarios, immersed myself in them completely and then my natural reactions came out. Obviously, it did affect me, especially after having to cry and burst out from one scene to another. There was no stopping point and it did impact my personality a bit.”
Hamariwali Good News also stars Srishti Jain, Juhi Parmar and Shakti Anand.
