Raghu Ram
is blunt and brutal demeanor sends shivers down the spine of those who come to audition each year for MTV Roadies. Raghu Ram, the brain behind one of the most successful reality shows on Indian television visited Chandigarh for matters that did not involve the popular show. He came to announce his debut Punjabi film Love Yoou Soniye
This news did raise many eyebrows, but Raghu will be seen in an all new avatar very soon, speaking Punjabi and adding some uproarious elements in the upcoming film, where he shares the screen with actors Karanvir Bohra, Teejay Sidhu besides established actors like Vindu Dara Singh and Upasna Singh.
"I never plan what I do in life but yes, whatever comes my way I grab it and give my 100 per cent," retorts Raghu when asked if he had ever planned on working in a Punjabi film where he will wear a turban and flaunt a beard.
Raghu is enthusiastic to do more movies, he adds, "I will definitely do a movie if I have an offer. Why will I say no? If anybody is stupid enough to cast me, I'll be intelligent enough to grab the opportunity." Though absolutely confident about his acting skills the next edition of Roadies isn't sure for him. He asserts, "My crew will be there, but I don't know whether I'll be doing the next edition of Roadies or not?"
On special request to sing he breaks the monotonous session with a beautiful tribute to Shiv Kumar Batalwi with Maye Ni Maye, Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya and leaves everyone awe-struck with his hold over the Punjabi language as well as over the sur. Raghu is also working on a book which is the chronicle of Roadies.
Raghu talks about the role of Karanvir Bohra's brother in the movie and character. "I have several Punjabi friends including Ranvijay, one of my best buddies. Besides personal experience I have closely observed Punjabis professionally as well as I've been visiting Chandigarh for a decade now. My character displays the vibrant, larger than life, selfless and helpful traits of Punjabis, which they are known for," further elaborates he about his character.
About the USP of the movie, lead actors, producers and real life couple Karanvir Bohra and Teejay Sidhu, say, " We have kept the language as easy as possible as most of the movies use a dialect that becomes incomprehensible for the audience in places like Mumbai and other metropolitan cities. Besides the language the characters in the movie are genuine, vivacious and entertaining."
