Rohitash Gaud is kicked to play Choorma Bhopali

Rohitash Gaud is super kicked these days. And why shouldn’t he be? After all, he will be seen in a double role in SAB TV’s Lapataganj. Yes, fans will see him as Mukundi Lal Gupta and Choorma Bhopali. Choorma will be a paan chewing opportunist having an authentic Bhopali accent and style of speaking. His character is inspired from Jagdeep’s Soorma Bhopali from the movie Sholay. Speaking about his new avatar, Rohitash says, “I am extremely excited to play a double role and that too such vividly contrasting ones. I feel it is the ultimate challenge, test and opportunity for an actor to showcase his/her talent. It also shows the confidence a director has in you. I kept recalling the Soorma Bhopali role played by Jagdeepji in Sholay and then did my homework and preparations. It was fun learning to speak with a Bhopali accent.” Rohitash has taken this role so seriously that he trained himself to get the authentic Bhopali accent right and started speaking with everyone on the sets in the typical Bhopali way. Not only that, he also started practicing his lines while having paan in his mouth to get his talking style correct. And guess what? There were days when he ate almost 40 paans. Everyone on the set is very excited and impressed with the new avatar of Rohitash and in fact his enthusiasm has rubbed off on his co-actors as well. All the artists and crew of Lapataganj have also started speaking in a Bhopali accent. But, surprisingly his wife does not seem to be very impressed with him eating paan and has warned him not to touch it once the track is over. Says Rohitash, “Another challenge I have is to get my wife fall in love with the character of Choorma Bhopali.” So what will happen next in the show? Will Mukundi be rescued and will Lapataganj residents expose Choorma Bhopali and punish him? Will the builder succeed in his intentions? To find out the answers, tune in to watch the show.
