Raveena Tandon Recalls RGV Saying He Sees Her Doing 'Kisi Disco' When He Shuts Eyes: 'That Image...'
In a recent interview, Raveena Tandon recalled about working with director Ram Gopal Varma in the movie Shool.

Raveena Tandon, set to star in Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming web series Karmma Calling, has actively been promoting her show. In a recent interview, the actress recalled about working with director Ram Gopal Varma in the movie Shool. Raveena shared that initially, RGV couldn’t envision her in the film, and even when she was in costume, he failed to recognise her.

In a conversation with Film Companion, Raveena revealed, “When we were shooting the promos, I got out of the make-up room and I went to stand in front of the camera. It was a long corridor from the make-up room to the set and I was crossing the corridor and Ramu crossed me.” Raveena mentioned that when she said hello to him, he looked at her but didn’t reply. This made her think that he wasn’t happy with her being cast in the movie.

After she greeted him on set, Raveena started working on the emotional shoot for the Shool poster. “I went on the set and I was doing my job and emoting for the poster of Shool. It was a very emotional shoot and suddenly, in the middle of that emotional shoot, I hear ‘Oh my god, Ravs! Is that you?’ I said ‘yeah, I said hello to you in the corridor, you didn’t even acknowledge me. He said ‘I didn’t recognise you.’ Then he said ‘okay, we are going for it’. That is how I got Shool,” she recalled.

In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, Raveena had said, “People took me seriously as an actor after Shool and Daman. I still remember, when Eeshwar Nivas, the director of Shool wanted to sign me, he was adamant. But the producer, Ram Gopal Varma was not sure. My image was ‘kisi Disco mein jaayein’, that image was so heavy in his mind, he said ‘when I shut my eyes, I can only see you doing Kisi Disco’!.”
