Thoda Pagla Gaya Tha: Bhojpuri Star Ravi Kishan Reveals Reasons Why He Lost A Role In ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur'
Ravi Kishan Gangs Of Wasseypur: Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur, which catapulted the careers of actors such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Manoj Bajpayee, Pankaj Tripathi, Piyush Misra, and Richa Chadha to stardom, will be recognised as a classic and turning point in Indian cinema. It is well known that Anurag wanted Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishan to be in his film. However, due to a few of his strange demands, he was rejected from being in the cast of this cult movie.
RAVI KISHAN REVEALS WHY HE LOST A ROLE IN GANGS OF WASSEYPUR
The actor turned politician recently revealed in an interview that success got into his head after he came to Mumbai and admitted that his unreasonable demands and arrogance made him lose a role in Gangs of Wasseypur. In his recent appearance on India TV's show Aap Ki Adalat, Ravi Kishan was asked if he actually made claims like using milk to bathe in and a bed of roses to sleep on.
In response, he said in Hindi, "Main doodh se nahata tha aur gulaab ki pankhuriyon pe sota tha. Mujhe aisa lagta tha ke main actor hoon aur yeh sab bahut zaroori hai. Log jab aapko Al Pacino aur Robert De Niro ki filmein dikhane lagte hain, aur bolte hain ke yeh actors aisa karte they, tum bhi karo... Godfather 500 baar dikha diye, aur main desi breed ka kalakar. Khair, yeh sab naatak kiye they ki isse mahaul banta hai. Mujhe lagta tha ke main doodh se naha ke jaunga toh yeh charcha rahegi ki yeh doodh se nahata hai."
He then went on to admit that the demands he made in front of Anurag Kashyup were mindless and unrealistic. He said he made a mistake and that it then backfired on him. "Gangs of Wasseypur film mein humein liye nahi kyunki woh bole kaun layega 25 litre doodh roz, aur kaun nehlayega, isse achcha lete hi nahi. Mera nuksaan bhi hua. Phir yeh sab chhod diye. Achanak jab aap fakiriyat se aate hain aur kuch paa lete hain aur aap chakachaund," he said.
He added, Bambai mayanagri hai bahut badi, aapko paglaane mein time nahi lagta. Bambai turant paagal bana sakti hai aapko. Har jagah se paise baras rahe hain, jahan jaa rahe hain log photo le rahe hain. Initial stage mein abhi abhi superstar bana tha, thoda pagla gaya tha."
Interestingly, Ravi Kishan and Anurag Kashyap later collaborated on Mukkabaaz in 2019.
