From Salman & Akshay, Prabhudheva Moves On To ‘Well Groomed’ Girish Kumar

Prabhudheva has delivered two major
biggies in the form of Wanted and Rowdy Rathore. In both the films he
worked with superstars like Salman Khan and
Akshay Kumar respectively. Results were
there to be seen as in the action packed
affairs, while the actors delivered their
best, the director too shone. Now one
looks forward to the filmmaker rising up to the challenge and
delivering a success
with newcomer Girish Kumar in Ramaiya Vastavaiya.

"It wasn't as difficult for Prabhudheva as
it sounds because even before stepping
in for his first rehearsals, Girish had gone
through a grooming drill," informs a
family friend, "He wanted to be an actor
since he was a kid and with dad Kumar Taurani, there was a pact that was
formed that once he grew up, there
would be a good launch pad waiting for
it."

However at Girish's end, he had to make
sure that there was no wrong foot being
set and with an acclaimed and successful
director at the helm of affairs, he had to
make sure that he delivered from Day
One.

"The grooming too place over a period of
time which required Girish to
learn Kathak as well as attend acting
classes in order to build his foundation
right. He also went to the USA for a
couple of months in order to hone his skills further in a workshop. On his
return, there were private tutors
assigned so that he perfected his art
further. In addition, Prabhudheva himself
asked him to watch videos of various
dance numbers that required intricate steps and get them all right before
hitting the sets," the friend continues.

The result was a much confident Girish
who was raring to go once the shooting
schedule of Ramaiya Vastavaiya began.

"Yes, there was a good learning journey
involved but it was all worth it. I would
still say that I have just begun and I am
learning on the job," says Girish, "Of
course my grooming helped because once
you have some sort of basic knowledge then at least you know what has to
worked upon when on the real field.
Prabhu Sir made sure that I played on the
front foot. We are all quite anxious to
see how audience react to the film now."

We would know once the film, with
Shruti Haasan in the lead, releases all
over on 19th July.
