Randheer Rai: I have always wanted to explore the horror genre

Actor Randheer Rai, who was last seen as an antagonist in Sunny Leone starrer Anamika, has now joined the star cast of Vikram Bhatt's upcoming film titled '

1920: Horrors of The Heart

'. For Randheer it is the first time being a part of an intense horror film.
"It is my first horror film, and believe me I have always wanted to explore this genre. The most exciting part of the film is, definitely the script. It's the hero of the movie. I am sure it will blow everyone's mind away, and the credit goes to Mahesh Bhatt sir. When I received the script, I finished reading it in one go. I am eager to finish it off and watch the movie onscreen," he says.

Randheer would be portraying three different age-groups in the film. So did that pose a challenge for him? "While this range of showing 30s to 50s is challenging, I wouldn't describe it as tough. This would be my first time playing a character that old. The character in his 50s is a little slow, so I had to improvise upon that. Since I am a very active person, I had to convince myself that I am a 50-plus man, and I need to slow down. Director Krishna Bhatt gave me a lot of space for experimentation while playing out the character," he replies.
For playing such a range of ages, did Randheer make some special preparations? Well yes he did. Right from losing weight to sitting patiently for two and a half hours to put on prosthetics, he did it all. "I had to work on my body weight, lost a few kgs and absolutely avoided weight training, even working out for a few days. I also had to work on body language, and the rest is all about conviction. It takes two and a half hours for me to get ready, because of the prosthetics which is a lengthy process. But I am enjoying every bit of it, because this is the reason I choose acting. And I love the fact that only an actor can live so many lives in one," he concludes.
