Raj Kumar gets his look right
When director Hansal Mehta began shooting for his film Shahid at the late Shahid Azmi’s office in Kurla, Shahid’s mother was very interested to know which actor was essaying her son’s role as the lawyer.
Raj Kumar Yadav, who was last seen in Kai Po Che, went through a look test by the director. Hansal believes that Raj Kumar understood the nuances of the role well, since it was very important for Shahid’s character to come through. When Shahid’s mother visited the set on the first day of the shoot to watch Raj Kumar act, she was brought to tears when she saw Raj in the lawyer’s garb. She also helped the director give a final touch to Raj Kumar’s look.
Hansal, director of the film says. “One of the first days of our shooting schdule was held at Shahid Azmi’s office. Shahid’s mother came to visit us and she looked at Raj Kumar and she kept looking at him. She said that her son always carried a pen. She suggested that Raj Kumar carry a pen. She looked at his hair and approved of his look. Raj Kumar had decided to keep his hairstyle similar to Shahid. Even worked on his physical characteristics to make himself look similar.”
