Talented actor Javed Pathan, who has entertained masses in shows like Jai Jai Bajrang Bali, Jai Jag Janani Maa Durga, Mahadev, Jodha Akbar, Maharana Pratap, Baal Veer, Vighnaharta Ganesh, is currently portraying the role of the mighty Tarakasur in Sony SAB’s Dharm Yoddha Garud. Talking about his entry in the show, Javed said, ” I have worked in mythological shows before, but my character of Tarkasur in the show is a strong negative character. Presently, the story is around Mata Parvati and as mythology narrates the role of Taraksur, I am playing an important character who deftly took a blessing from Lord Brahma but was later killed by Lord Kartikey. It is always an actor’s dream for the audiences to remember them by their character played on-screen. I am fortunate and delighted to play such a strong negative character in the show.”
When asked about the preparation he did for the role, he mentioned, “The important things are personality and body language so that the character comes out as it should. With mythological dramas, it becomes a great responsibility of an actor to portray the character from the past as it was mentioned so that people can relate to it. Tarakasur was a king, hence I had to imagine and practice how he would walk, his voice, the way he would speak, and his expressions. With every scene, my director sir helps me throughout how I can play the character powerfully.”
Javed further added, “I take around 3-3.5 hours to get ready. My entire body must be painted first, then the wig and make-up. I wear a bright-colored dhoti and heavy gold jewellery. Even after pack-up, it takes almost 45-50 mins to become Javed again. Even though it’s a tiring process, I enjoy it throughout.”
