For ‘Paurashpur’, Somit Jain had to develop the mindset of a warrior!

Actor #SomitJain, who plays the role of #SenapatiAgnivardhan in the series #Paurashpur, says that he had to prepare well for the role. The actor adds that his character is highly ambitious and can do anything to get what he wants.

“Developed a mindset like a warrior, warlord and someone who is highly ambitious who would do anything to get to his goals even if it means harming, causing destruction and killing which senapati Agni vardhan did. He is a ferocious soul a rebel. To reach that mindset, I started building a mindset. That’s it…As you can see he kills, hunts and is brutal,” he says.

Comparing Paurushpur to Bahubali, he says, “Paurushpur has its own universe identity and story line and so does Bahubali. I think comparison is unnecessary. Bahubali is an exceptionally fascinating movie. But Paurushpur is different in a way, it’s gory, uninhibited and positively shameless in its approach and making.”

He adds, “My role stands out in its characterisation. A warlord, warrior, casanova, highly ambitious and brutal. He wants what he wants, even if the ride gets bumpy. He adds uniqueness in the story line in its own style.”

Talking about the shoot, he says, “Every scene was interesting and the whole experience was amazing to be honest. My scenes with the maharani have been intense and fierce. I particularly love the one where we fight and Agni Vardhan dies.”

He says that shooting bold scenes were also not challenging for him. “It was pretty comfortable. The rest of the cast and the director and other crew members were supportive and highly professional, making the process easier. It is all thanks to my director, God bless!”

Talking about how the audience has loved the show, he says, “Reviews are great. I guess the audience has loved it. Working with ALTT has been great. I loved it. I am thankful to them for giving me the opportunity. The diversity Ekta Kapoor brings in terms of content is commendable. She is a brave fearless woman’ and it is this attitude that is causing growth and success to ALTT.”
