Prachi Thaker on 'Raado': It is a journey about showcasing the great effort that went into making a film- Exclusive!

Prachi Thaker, who recently made her acting debut in Dhollywood with Krishnadev Yagnik's 'Raado', has gained attention and praise for her performance. To know more about her journey, ETimes contacted the actress, and here's what she revealed.

Sharing how she started her acting career, Prachi says, "I started my career as a model and later as an actor. I am still doing modeling, but I am more focused on acting. I went to Hyderabad for my studies, I was modeling there and I got an offer for a short film called 'A Silent Melody', and this short film gave me an acting opportunity. People appreciated my character in it and instead, I got a breakthrough in the industry. I started acting in the Telugu film industry. Being a Gujarati I will always want to work with the Gujarati film industry. Because speaking and performing in one's own mother tongue is a different experience."

Adding about how she bagged the role in 'Raado', the actress shares, "I am thankful to Abhishek Shah's casting company and Ekta Shah all the way because of them I got the role of this style in 'Raado'. My profile was sent through Ekta, and when I was told there is such a role and the project's director is KD sir I immediately said yes to the film without thinking. I have a lot of roles, but it was pleasant listening to this project and was different because it pulled you in, therefore I took this role."

She further added about her journey in 'Raado', "It was an unforgettable experience. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with such a large team and crew it is also a one-of-a-kind experience for me. In the Gujarati film industry, every actor dreams about working with Krishnadev Yagnik. He is a director with a track record of delivering only hit films. As an actor, I would love to continue working with him. I've learned a lot throughout this 'Raado' journey. My part in 'Raado' was shot on the road with vehicles in traffic, which was something I had never done before. There were difficulties, but the crew was very supportive and cared for me. So 'Raado' journey is all about showcasing the great effort that went into making a film, which I found."

Prachi opened up about her experience of working with her co-actors, "The experience of working with my co-actors has been amazing. I have shared the screen with Devarshi Shah. He was very easy to work with I would say. And it is a blessing to work with such a co-star. Whenever he was on break, he mostly stayed on the road and tried to get a clue of where the story was going and what would happen next. The entire shooting was enjoyed in this way."

Furthermore, she decodes the North-South debate, "There is a unique way of working. But the basics of making a film are the same. Be it in South or Gujarati everyone has a different way and I have good experience working in both industries. It is difficult for me to choose any one of these two. I have learned a lot from both these industries. When it comes to character, the Gujarati industry puts greater focus on how the character may be understood and how to bring that character to life, which I really enjoyed."
