Shooting for a period drama is always tricky and
challenging. Be it the costumes and or the props, the actors have to put in
extra effort to shine on screen. Actor Sunny Ghanshani, who plays the character
of Philip in Swastik Productions popular show Porus, recently had an
interesting incident. He was shooting for a war sequence which was going on for
few days and for that Sunny had to ride a chariot.
“Riding a chariot is not an easy job. There are
two horses in a chariot and keeping the balance is a tough job for the rider.
You have to stand in a specific position to maintain the current balance. Also
you have to bend your knees. Specially when you are riding on an uneven surface
the chariot wobbles a lot as the wooden wheels have gaps. I had not practised
with the chariot before and literally learnt on the spot,” he says.
Of course, being comfortable with the horses is
another aspect of riding the chariot. “The two horses are Heera and Jeetu and
they are adorable and friendly. talk to the horses as they understand the
language and also my touch. I was happy as the chariot sequence was wrapped up
in three takes, says Sunny, who hails from Bilaspur and has made his acting
debut with Porus.
