Sahara One Motion Pictures’ Mumbai Cutting is making news for its 11 directors capturing the myriad facets of this metrop. But what is also

interesting is the dedication of the actors. Tejaswini Kolhapure is one such actress.

So when the offer to act in the film came her way, she did not hesitate. “Shashank Ghosh and my husband Pankaj Saraswat have worked together in Waisa Bhi Hota Hai and I was quite happy when I was asked to play the part of the smalltown girl.” A story that dealt with the

psychology of a person when she is put in a particular situation, Tejaswini found the “out-of-the-box concept” and the treatment

exciting.

Shashank’s calmness made her all the more keen.

“I thought he would get angry on the sets, but he was so calm. The cinematographer also knew my work and that made it all the more

interesting.”

But a particular situation made the best in Tejaswini come out. Says she, “In Mumbai Cutting, I am an upcoming actress from out of town and

had to portray this smalltown girl frustrated in life having the last chance and I go out of my way do anything to get that job.”

But it was not that easy as it sounds for the actress. “I had to look harrowed and at the same time look desirable. The scene required that

I climb on top of a TT table with a mike fixed on my back, I had toclimb and bend down and look very desirable in a particular line and

light. To top it all it was not at all easy climbing again and again as my jeans were very tight.

Tejaswini gave the scene her best shot. Retake yelled Shashank Gosh. The light was not what he wanted. “He is a man with a vision,” says

Tejaswini though she gave 6 retakes to get the right light. “I merely followed that vision. And it was nto easy to look desirable on camera

and cope up with my bodyaches at the same time. But that is something that I think we all actors go through at some point or the other.”
