EXCLUSIVE! Rohit Raaj: Ameesha Patel And Arjun Rampal Were Very Humble And Welcoming, I Feel Lucky As Newcomer

Actor Rohit Raaj, who worked as a child artist in TV shows, made his Bollywood debut with the film Mystery of the Tattoo, which has been released in theaters on Friday, September 1. He is playing a lead in this thriller, alongside Arjun Rampal and Ameesha Patel.

Talking about his debut film, in an exclusive chat with Filmibeat, Rohit says, I just want to give good content to my audience. He also finished shooting for his next film, Super Woman, with Meera Chopra, Tigmanshu Dhulia, and Poonam Dhillon.

Journey From TV To Films

When asked about his journey from TV to films, Rohit says, "I have worked as a child artist on television, at that time I had no knowledge of what acting is, what a performance is. You just do what you are told. But after studies, I took acting classes and many other trainings, then I understood a lot of things related to performance. It is like a new beginning for me. This is something I am starting from scratch. Also, I made sure that I am well-prepared whenever I start. Throughout the years, when I wasn't working in the industry, I was training and preparing myself so that when I start, I would be thoroughly confident in myself and I must be ready for anything that comes my way."

I Have Been Working On Myself

As a teenager, Raaj worked in Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabharat Ki (2008) and Jhansi Ki Rani (2009). After that, he took a break, completed his studies along with different trainings. He said, I have been working on myself and for the last nine years I have been learning boxing along with mixed martial arts.

Ameesha Patel And Arjun Rampal Are Very Humble

Sharing about his experience of working with Arjun Rampal and Ameesha Patel, Rohit says, "It was wonderful. Initially, I was very nervous because they were all much more experienced than me. And this is my first film. It doesn't matter my training, my past work experience. They are still much senior to me. I was nervous because I wanted to give my best. But as soon as I reached the set on the first day, they were all so welcoming and friendly. As a newcomer, I didn't expect this. They are all very humble and down-to-earth people. They rehearsed the script with me several times and made sure that my performance would come out the best. Off-screen, Arjun used to sit with me and discuss how we could approach a scene. I feel very lucky that I got such good co-actors in my first film. I am grateful.

Super Woman Is In Post Production

Rohit Raaj has already completed his second film, titled Super Woman. He shared, "The shooting of Super Woman has been completed and the film is currently in post-production. Working with super seniors Tigmanshu sir (Tigmanshu Dhulia) and Poonam Dhillon ma'am was truly a tremendous experience. You get to learn a lot working with them."
