Rasika Dugal reveals what she had to 'unlearn' while working on 'Kartavya'

Actress Rasika Dugal reveals what she had to unlearn while working with Saif Ali Khan on 'Kartavya'. She admires his set awareness and humor.

"There are some actors who are able to sort of understand what is happening on the set entirely and do their job also, which I saw Saif do very beautifully. - Rasika Dugal"

Mumbai, May 13

Actress Rasika Dugal, who will be seen sharing the screen with Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan for the first time in "Kartavya," revealed what quality of Saif she admired and also tried to imbibe during the shoot.

The 'Mirzapur' actress shared that some actors are naturally capable of not just performing their parts, but also being fully aware of all that is taking place on the set, something which Rasika admittedly struggles to do.

She confessed that while on the set, she often remains in her own head, unable to carry others with her.

When asked what she unlearned on the sets of "Kartavya", Rasika said, "There are some actors who are able to sort of understand what is happening on the set entirely and do their job also, which I saw Saif do very beautifully."

"I feel that sometimes when I am on set, I can only be in my own head a little bit and not really be able to carry everybody together with me, and not even sort of take on that responsibility. So I unlearned how to do that because I saw him do that so beautifully," she went on to add.

Previously, Rasika shared her experience of working with Saif. She revealed that she found the 'Cocktail' actor extremely fun to work with.

Rasika said, "It's great to have a co-actor who has a super sense of humour and is so much fun to work with! I really admire how he has sustained a successful career for over three decades and constantly reinvented himself. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him."

Directed and written by Pulkit, "Kartavya" also features Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Manish Chaudhari, and Saurabh Dwivedi in significant roles, along with others.

"Kartavya" is slated to premiere on streaming giant Netflix on 15th May this year.

It's nice to see actors acknowledging their growth areas. Rasika admitting she gets stuck in her own head is so relatable—even in our own jobs, we sometimes forget the bigger picture. Saif's ability to be present on set is a lesson for all professionals, not just actors. Good on her for unlearning!

Interesting insight into the craft. I've always respected actors who are aware of the entire set dynamic—it's like a quarterback seeing the whole field. Saif's been underrated as a performer. Hope Kartavya does justice to the talent involved.

Honestly, I think it's great that Rasika is learning from Saif—after all, he's been in the industry for over 30 years! But I hope this doesn't overshadow her own unique style. She's carved her own path with roles in Mirzapur and Delhi Crime. Would love to see her shine in Kartavya too! 🤞

Saif's career reinvention is indeed commendable—from 'Dil Chahta Hai' to 'Sacred Games'! But I hope Kartavya isn't just a one-star Netflix filler. With Pulkit directing and such a strong cast (Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain), expectations are high. Fingers crossed it's a gripping thriller! 🤞

It's always fascinating when actors talk about the 'unlearning' process. Rasika's honesty about being in her own head is refreshing—most actors would never admit that. Saif's ability to multitask on set is a skill in itself. This film's cast is stacked; hope the script matches!
