Rehan's No Amanush!

Reason enough why the model-turned-actor can't be totally unruffled about his absence from the promos and posters. He tells TOI that his biggest publicity would be audience appreciation...
Rehan's No Amanush!
I'm both excited and nervous. Wish I could come downto Kolkata for the release, but I'm caught up with quite a few assignmentsin Mumbai. I don't think I'll be able to make it.Yes. The company that's producing both these projects saw my pictures and asked me to come down to Kolkata. Though I was not too keen on acting in Bengali serials, I thought of meeting the team once. The moment I entered the office, Rajibda (director of Amanush) said, 'He is just the right guy to play Adi. I will freeze him.' And my enthusiasm knew no limits after I read the script! I play the second lead, Adi, who thinks girls are easily available, but changes his outlook once he meets Ria (Srabanti).Sadly, I can'tdisclose the story.At first Rajibda was hesitant, but I convinced him. In fact,I had to let go of a soft drink commercial because ofthis.(Laughs)Rajibda told me later on that the film had kept delaying because hecouldn't decide who will play Adi. I feelprivileged!I think, I'm the surprise element.It's not that I'm not feeling bad at all, but I fullyrespect the marketing strategy of the production house. Frankly, my biggestpublicity will be if the audience likes my performance and not just my face onposters or my songs aired on severalchannels!Oh, yes! I'm there in Jiboner Jolchobi and inMonta kore uru uru with Soham.
Yes, I hada head injury in Siliguri the day we were supposed to shoot the film'sclimax. The team wanted to postpone the shoot, but I went ahead and did it sinceI didn't want the production house to face any problem because of me.Soham is extremely helpful and Srabanti is full ofenergy.Follow us on Twitter for more stories
