Janki Bodiwala has revealed that whenever the director would cut the scene in her latest film, Shaitaan, everyone would chuckle despite having given a gruesome take moments before.
Following the success of this thriller, Film Companion approached the young actor for a brief chat, where the interviewer questioned if she’s a method actor.
“Not at all! Even in Shaitaan, we used to laugh once they called cut — because there's so much brutality. I'm pushing Jyothika ma’am, I'm hitting the kid, and I'm pressing Madhvan ji's feet. They used to laugh,” Janki replied.
She added, “I guess it keeps you in your senses. Sometimes with physical scenes, people get hurt. We accidentally end up hurting our co-actors. And they are huge stars! It was very scary.”
The picture starred Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, and Jyothika Saravanan alongside.
In its story, Janki was seen agonizingly overpowered by a stranger using black magic as his fatal command weapon.
Although Shaitaan followed a different ending from its original, Vash, which was a devastating horror in every sense, it still required high energy acting from the budding star, who was reprising her role.
To ease the building pressure on her, co-stars used to laugh at the end of the shot.
