What's the story

Ravi Kishan recently opened up about his role in the Netflix film Maa Behen. The actor was particularly impressed by the authentic representation of small-town North India and his character, Gupta Ji.

"Even after doing so many films, I had never played a character like Gupta ji before," he told Mid-Day.

Character details

Kishan praised the film's authentic representation of small-town North India

Kishan, who plays a middle-aged man infatuated with his neighbor, Rekha (Dixit), said the film's portrayal of North Indian small-town life was spot on. "I know these areas. The small-town humor has been missing from Hindi cinema, and when [Bollywood] depicts it, it feels a little fake." "You can't fool me when it comes to this world." He also praised Dixit's discipline, saying she would always be on set by 6:00am and was present at every moment.

Co-star experiences

The dark comedy also stars Triptii Dimri, Dharna Durga

Kishan also spoke about his experiences with co-stars who weren't as professional as Dixit. "I have many stories of co-stars, who aren't like that. If provoked, I will give names," he laughed. Maa Behen, directed by Suresh Triveni and written by Pooja Tolani, features a stellar cast including Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durga. The film is a dark comedy about a widow who discovers her neighbor dead inside her kitchen and seeks her daughters' help to hide the body.
