Actor Akhilendra Mishra loves clubbing this shoot trip with traveling and exploring nearby locations. On his visit to Lucknow and nearby localities, the actor travelled to Ayodhya, Varanasi, Sarnath and Mirzapur to make the most of his visit.
The Lagaan (1999), Sarfarosh (2001) and Ready (2011) fame actor says, “It has become a routine to move around the cities I shoot and explore its historic monuments, scenic locations, local cuisine and religious locations and meet people. The 62-year-old actor says it has to do with his craft too. Before I go for a shoot I prepare a road map for places that I can visit. “For any actor the more you connect and meet with the society the more ‘content’ you get that can be replicated in your acts. The actor shot for Anurudh Dave’s production Babu Weds Baby with Kapil Kanpuriya and Harshitta Bhatt. “Besides, I shot for The Post Box in Barabanki with Chandan Kumar. Last, I shot for a comedy film Gulgule Bakhauli in Lucknow. Besides, I have completed shooting for The Villagers in Bundelkhand, Haider Kazmi’s film Guilty Mind and Mere Papa on dowry in Bihar. I am selecting roles which have something new for me to explore.”
Centuries back Natyashastra, Bharat Muni had said to go to lok (people and society). Classic and modern theater greats have also said the same. It helps in my roles,” he says.
