It was a whole new experience for me to fight on an elephant with an axe in my hand: Karthika Nair

The actress shot for a war sequence at one go

The next grand project for STAR Plus, from the writers of Bahubaali, surfaces a story that’s never been shown on Star Plus. The upcoming show Aarambh, traces the historic fantasy and drama that shows tussle between Dravidians and Aaryans. It stars Rajniesh Duggal, South actress Karthika Nair and veteran actor Tanuja Mukherjee in lead roles.

The big budget series is no less than a historic motion picture, where we would get to see enormous historic flicks, battlefield wars and sword fights. Sources inform us about the interesting clash scene between Karthika on an elephant and Rajniesh on a horse, executing a combat scene with perfection. Karthika is all geared up for the scene and has practiced rigorously for two days. She left no stone unturned to get the nuance of her character right. With sheer confidence and rightness she gave the entire fight scene flawlessly in one go with all maneuvers of an elephant fight with ease.

It is believed that for two days she was accompanied by some intense mind mapping techniques for a perfect on screen showcase of the scene. Talking about the whole experience bit Karthika shared, “It was a whole new experience for me to fight on an elephant with an axe in my hand. I needed to be very cautious for the scene, all thanks to my team to support me with professional training. I’m really looking forward to my role in “Aarambh”

Watch Aarambh Soon on STAR Plus.
