RGV is a genius: Subrat

Subrat Dutta���������s name might not ring a bell immediately, but the award-winning Bengali actor who���������s made a mark in B-town as protagonist in ���������Madholal Keep Walking���������, is going to be seen as AK (Ananthapuram King) Gundu Seenu, Paritala Ravi���������s trusted aide in Ram Gopal Varma���������s ���������Rakta Charitra.
Seems like the fear of AP���������s dreaded factionists has seized this National School of Drama grad too as he gets wary when asked about his role.Whatever the perception of folks on RGV, Subrat is a staunch fan - ���������RGV is a genius,��������� he says and adds ���������I was supposed to shoot for 18 days, but it was extended to 45 days as Ramuji added new dimensions to my role.Also I am featuring in both Part I and Part II of the film,��������� he says.
Was it tough getting the cultural nuances of Rayalaseema? He says, ���������This is the age of globalisation and acting transcends all boundaries, but Ramuji knows how to handle an actor. For my role I learned Telugu and practiced my lines till the wee hours of the morning .���������
On Madholal that got him best actor award at the Cairo Film Festival and had people abroad comparing the film with ���������Slumdog Millionaire��������� he says, ���������Slumdog Millionaire��������� underlined poverty, it had that bechara factor, but in Madholal the slumdwellers have a certain dignity about them.��������� Subrat is happy about the award but says that it���������s all because of ���������team work���������.
Talking about future projects, he says he���������s excited about Kris Allen���������s ���������Last Breath Beautiful���������, ���������Ardhangi Ek Ardh Satya��������� based on Tagore���������s story ���������Ghare Bairey��������� and Dheeraj���������s film on farmer suicides.
So, how was his shooting experience in the city? ���������Hyderabad is not new to me. I���������ve shot for Mani Shankar���������s ���������Tango Charlie��������� and for some of my Bengali films here. I like Hyderabadi food, especially the rice! It���������s like I have come to ���������my��������� place - I can eat dahi chawal!���������
