Saurabh Sachdeva is a popular Bollywood actor who has also coached many stars like Anushka Sharma, Varun Dhawan, Rana Daggubati, Triptii Dimri and Raghav Juyal. He has also appeared in many hit films with
big industry names and has left a lasting impression on Bollywood. He recently appeared on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast and spoke about sharing the screen with Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. He also talked about coaching Raghav Juyal during his hosting days.
During his conversation with Bharti and Haarsh, Saurabh was asked about working with Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. “It was very amazing. He is a curious human being. He wants to know everything about you. He just sits on the side and starts talking. He spoke to me a lot about my technique, and I told him about my mask work. He said that he also wanted to do it. I told him that we will do. It was fun. Curiosity is the best friend of an artiste,” he said.
Saurabh Sachdeva also talked about coaching Raghav Juyal and said, “When Raghav came after a hosting and dancing background, his interest was always stealing something from someone and giving it to them. He always had to joke about the audience, himself, or the situation. He had to joke on either of these things, in a way, then only people enjoy it.”
He added, “But now, he doesn’t have to joke. He has to connect with the other person and accept him. And then, he cannot turn it into a joke. He has to take the scene forward, building on the same emotion.”
He said, “I told him strongly that it’s your impulse, you have learned that, will you leave it? I am not saying that he is wrong; he can do that on stage, and the audience might enjoy it. But if he is doing a film, then that won’t entertain. He will always be focused on how he can pick the scene up. He doesn’t have to pick it, just be in that scene.”
“It was very difficult for him to change that in the beginning. He struggled a lot and did many courses to understand this. He actually cut that. There’s a huge difference between today’s Raghav and how he was earlier,” Saurabh concluded.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Saurabh Sachdeva will next be seen in Baaghi 4. Ranbir Kapoor will soon be seen in Ramayana, and Raghav Juyal will be seen in Aryan Khan’s Baads of Bollywood.
