Well not literally! But Harsh Chhaya is to play a gay fashion
designer in Madhur Bhandarkar's upcoming Fashion. Harsh
who is known to be an actor who experiments with all types of
roles now will be seen for the first time playing a completely
new character from what we have been seeing of them. Interestingly
we hear Harsh was not the first choice for the role as he was
considered an actor of too serious an image but Harsh was too
interested in the role to let go off it so easily and took big
efforts into getting it too.
Apparently he bought a wig, a few clothes that he thought would
be appropriate for a certain look, .a bit of make up, even plucked
his eyebrows in shape and then shot himself on a video camera,
edited the five minute piece and came up with a dvd along with
some stills and presented it to Madhur and voila! , within couple
of days the role was his!
"I just told Madhur to watch it for me, it did not matter
if he cast me at the end of it or no", says Harsh. "
I did put in an effort to get a certain part and I sincerely and
honestly would like to thank Madhur for casting me finally",
adds Harsh "There are very few opportunities of this kind
available to an actor in a span of his career, I saw one here
and I had to at least try for it for my own sake", says the
actor.
Well harsh is one versatile actor for sure!
