Pravisht Mishra the talented actor is back on the TV screens in his child-like persona and role of Yuvan in Star Plus’ Banni Chow Home Delivery. A prolific actor, Pravisht is having a whale of a time playing this mentally challenged character.
In an exclusive conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Pravisht Mishra talks about his new role and show.
Excerpts:
After Barrister Babu, are you elated to have got such a contrasting role in Banni Chow Home Delivery?
Yes, In Barrister, I was playing a very mature character. In Banni Chow Home Delivery, Yuvan is just like a small kid. He is innocent and naive; he is like water which just flows.
Do you feel this is an author-backed role with scope for performance?
Yes, a lot of scope I would say. I hope to succeed in at least a small percentage of what the writers have thought about this character.
How has your preparation been for this role?
I have been watching quite many movies and TV shows. Not just for this series, I watch always and pick up something or the other from whatever I see. I have tried to observe more of the children. Pravisht is mature, while Yuvan is very innocent.
What are your takeaways from this character?
Yuvan is very true to his emotion. There is no barrier or filter, if he likes something, he likes it. I like this aspect of him.
In a mostly woman-dominated space like TV, you have bagged two good roles that have showcased the performer in you. Do you feel lucky?
I am very grateful for having got these opportunities. I feel that the entire world and my life are woman-dominated. I thank my mother for making me what I am and also Shashi Ma’am. The day Barrister Babu got over, Shashi Ma’am had told me not to take up anything else as she had something in mind for me. I am glad that she gave me the role of Yuvan.
What are your expectations of this fresh Jodi of Yuvan and Banni?
I had never met or worked with Ulka before. As and when the friendship and bond between Yuvan and Banni will grow, the chemistry between Pravisht and Ulka will also deepen and grow.
How do you see the musical involvement in the show?
Music is the only therapy that makes me feel good. Music and love go hand in hand. So Yuvan who is a musical maestro, will find the connection and help of music in his love story too when the plot grows further.
Tell us about your love for music?
I just listen to songs. There is not a day when I stop myself from listening to songs. My liking is not genre-specific, I just need to listen to music.
What is the attribute in Yuvan that will stand out according to you?
Yuvan’s innocence will stand out. It is so rare to see people like him.
What are your expectations from the show?
I hope Yuvan gets all the love, and through him, Pravist too gets showered with love. I want the show to be a big hit.
What are the kind of people the show will cater to?
I feel that Banni Chow Home Delivery will cater to all kinds of audiences both in our country, and overseas too. We have different kinds of characters and have people coming from all strata of society. Kids will love to see Yuvan in action.
