MUMBAI : Reeva Chaudary is seen as Rasili in Ramsay’s Bandh Darwaze Ke Peeche, which is currently streaming on ALTT. She said the shooting experience was quite nice and not as scary as it is on-screen.
“It looks scarier on screen with the music and effects, but during shooting, it wasn’t that frightening. We shot mostly at night, so to prepare for the role, I adjusted my schedule by sleeping during the day to stay awake at night. That was the main preparation I needed to do for the role,” she said.
And as an actor, she was comfortable shooting all the scenes, and nothing was too challenging for her. She said, “There wasn’t a particularly difficult scene for me because I’ve done a lot of workshops with Atul Mongia and have theatre experience in Calcutta. Plus, Aryaman Sir made everything so comfortable and friendly, like a family, that the entire process went smoothly. There was no scene I found too challenging.”
Reeva also stressed that just the mere presence of the Ramsay brothers makes the show stand apart from others. “Ramsay’s Bandh Darwaze Ke Peeche is unique because it’s made by the Ramsay Brothers—Aryaman Sir and Sagar Sir. They are like the Yash Raj of horror; no one does horror better than them. That’s what sets this show apart from other horror projects.”
She was happy that she got the opportunity to wear Indian outfits for the series, and said, “I rarely get to wear traditional Indian attire, as most of my roles are in western outfits. In this series, my character wore a full Indian outfit with a bindi, bangles, and a ghagra choli, which I really loved. It allowed me to do something different this time, which was great.”
She also credited the streaming platform, ALTT, for giving and creating more opportunities for actors. “Earlier, it was mostly TV series and movies, so chances were limited. Now, with so many web series being produced, actors are getting more work. ALTT is one of the best platforms, and Ramsay’s Bandh Darwaze Ke Peeche was my first show with them. I hope to work with them on more series and OTT movies in the future,” Reeva ended.
