MUMBAI: Actor Ritwik Bhowmik says it was very difficult for him to be rude to actor Atul Kulkarni while filming a scene.
Ritwik got a chance to work with Atul in the upcoming series "Bandish Bandits", and a sequence demanded that the young actor be "blunt" in attitude towards the senior artiste.
"I am a huge admirer of Atul sir's work. I was very excited to shoot with him but my character demanded me to be blunt with his character on the show. It was very difficult for me because I did not want to be rude to Atul sir," Ritwik said.
"So, every time the camera rolled, I would put on my poker face. The moment (director) Anand (Tiwari) sir would call it a cut, I would start trembling! I guess it happened because I was working with him for the first time and it was absolutely dreamy," the budding actor added.
