EXCLUSIVE: Jitendra Kumar calls Arshad Warsi a ‘prankster’ as he spills BTS fun from Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas: “He used to change dialogues mid-take!”
When two powerhouse performers like Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar come together, even the most serious film gets its share of laughter behind the scenes. Despite their film, Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas, exploring a serious theme like the investigation of a prostitution racket, it was Arshad and his pranks that kept the humour alive on the sets.
In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Jitendra revealed that the film’s intense subject matter didn’t stop the cast from having fun on set. “Sir ke saath kaam karna – main bahut excited tha (I was excited to work with Sir),” he shared. “He’s a very good co-actor, very helpful.”
Arshad was quick to return the praise. “Jitendra bahut achha actor hai, bahut natural,” he said warmly. “For me, it was very easy to work with him.”
What truly defined their bond, however, was the unplanned humour that unfolded while shooting. Jitendra laughed as he recalled, “Sir bahut baar shararat karte the (Sir would prank a lot). Kabhi achanak dialogue badal dete the— Sir would suddenly change the dialogues, and the whole team would burst out laughing!”
Arshad admitted to his playful antics, saying, “And set pe bahut masti hoti thi (it was real fun on the sets). The environment was positive and full of laughter — that’s when you get the best performances.”
Further it was being said that the actors built their rhythm naturally, with minimal rehearsals but maximum chemistry. By the end of the shoot, their coordination had become effortless. “When you’re working with someone who listens and responds naturally,” Arshad said, “the scene takes on a life of its own.”
Their off-screen camaraderie is clearly reflected in their on-screen performances, making Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas a collaboration that showcased both intensity and heart. Coming to the film, produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja, Harman Baweja, Kanishk Gangwal, and Vipin Agnihotri under Jio Studios, Baweja Studios, and Dog 'n' Bone Pictures, it stars Arshad as Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat and Jitendra as Sameer, a professor drawn into the case.
