00:00Upcoming Bollywood's biographical drama film Phule is ready to release on 11th April.
00:07This film is directed by Anant Mahadevan and it will also feature a screenplay by Savitri Bai Phule.
00:15The entire star cast is busy with promotions these days.
00:20When Pratik Gandhi was asked about his role Jyotirao Phule, he described it as a transformative experience.
00:28Pratik said that it was not easy for him to put this iconic social reformer on the big screen.
00:35He described this role as challenging and said that he had to put in a lot of effort to play it.
00:41When he was asked how he played a Maharashtrian character despite being a Gujarati, let's hear what Pratik Gandhi said in his answer.
00:53I don't know about the difficulty, but it's a lot of fun.
00:57There are so many layers to this character.
01:00The kind of life he has lived, the kind of work he has done.
01:04We can't even imagine that.
01:07If you talk to a small kid without a name, they will think it's a fairy tale.
01:12There is no such person who has done all this.
01:16Neither did he have a magical wand, nor did he have the power of magic.
01:21The biggest power he had was his self-determination.
01:26Shakti means to be a leader.
01:29Without fear, he stood up against the society and against evil.
01:33And a lot more.
01:35When we hear all this, we think it's a good thing.
01:38But when we started doing this, there is a whole internal transformation that you feel.
01:43Like when you wear a costume, you suddenly feel different.
01:47What was challenging was that when I was saying what he said,
01:51I didn't want to leave anything out as an actor.
01:55The impact of doing such a big thing will not reach people anyway.
