For some stars the decision of essaying a negative role on television happens within a snap of fingers. And they bring so much liveliness to these characters that the viewers never forget their brilliant portrayals. One such actor is Chetan Hansraj who essays negative roles with finesse. He has been on the tube for over 15 years and has a humongous fan following too.
He always had a dream of essaying the most epic antagonist in Indian history, the role of Raavan. Now his dream has come true as he will soon be seen essaying the role of powerful antagonist Raavan in RadhaKrishn.
In an interview with Bombay Times, Chetan talked about his aspirations and said,”It is no mean task to play Raavan, but I can confidently say that my training and experience of playing negative characters over a decade will help me essay the role. I have been offered to play Raavan many times earlier, but things did not materialize. Just a few days ago, I dreamt of Raavan and then I got a call to play one. Like they say, some things are destined to happen.”
On how the fiction world has been quite unchanged over the years but the mythological and historical genres have changed, he said, “Nothing much has changed, the content of most fiction shows remain the same. Having said that, working in mythological or historical shows comes with its own baggage; it’s quite taxing.”
