Prominent Marathi filmmaker Ravi Jadhav, whose past work has won him huge appreciation is all set to make his Bollywood debut with upcoming film ‘Banjo’.
The trailer has already garnered whopping one million views in just two days. Riteish Deshmukh has already become talk of the town with his never-seen-before appearance while Nargis Fakhri is in the news for her ever sizzling avatar.
This films casts the struggle and life tale of street musicians. Both the pivotal characters have assembled the efforts to portray their characters in the best way possible. Riteish’s rustic character required him to perform smoking scenes. In real life, the actor is a non-smoker and thus, he used herbal cigarettes to give the touch of reality to the scene. Riteish says, “To make my character look more believable, I was supposed to smoke in a few scenes, as that was integral to the script. Thankfully, I had to smoke herbal cigarettes and not the actual ones that are harmful.” Herbal cigarettes are the ones which do not contain harmful contents like tobacco. “Riteish is against smoking. He was asked to smoke for some of his previous roles as well. But he always said no. However, in Banjo, he is playing the role of a street performer. He realised that his role required him to smoke,” a source was quoted saying.
Nargis Fakhri seems to be extra dedicated as she showed her eagerness to learn Marathi despite her role not demanding it. A source told the reason as, “Nargis plays character of DJ and was not required to learn Marathi at all. However the actress was curious to know what her director Ravi Jadhav and co-star Riteish Deshmukh are discussing, so she would ask unit members to teach her couple of words and has learned few of them.”
All the excitement that has been escalated by the trailer will finally calm down as the movie releases on 23rd September!
