Actor Karanvir Bohra has through the lockdown managed to experiment and work on his directorial skills, with his upcoming show ‘Bhanwar’ on zee5 which is based on time travel.
While acting has always been Karanvir’s fortey, nuances behind the camera have always interested him, so taking the lockdown as an opportunity to work on them, Karanvir along with a small team of 4 others shot ‘Bhanwar’, marking it to be his directorial debut.
Speaking about the aspects he has learnt being behind the camera, Karanvir shares,”Somewhere I became very complacent as an actor, but direction taught me to be a lot more prepared. Directing a project has a lot of small and big aspects to it which need to be thoroughly looked into, and detailing has to be given a lot of prominence. From the script to the breakdown of a shot, the correct camera angle, lighting, set design and even the actor’s mood has to all be balanced well. Hence a director is never at ease, because looking over all these nuances requires a lot of time and effort. Working on Bhanwar as a director, gave me a good boost to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.”
