Rohan Gandotra on Sunny Leone-starrer 'Nasha': There were moments when my body was giving up
Mumbai, April 7
Actor Rohan Gandotra, who will be seen in Vikram Bhatt's vertical project "Nasha" starring Sunny Leone", has taked about how his body was giving up as scenes were mentally and emotionally draining.
Nasha is a love triangle that revolves deep into betrayal, heartbreak, and emotional turmoil. It showcases a complex relationship where love takes a dark turn.
Talking about working on the project, Rohan said in a statement: "It was one of the most physically and emotionally draining scenes I've ever done. There were moments when my body was giving up, but as an actor, you have to stay true to the emotion."
The actor said that the project made him push his limits.
"I wanted the audience to feel the pain, not just see it. That required pushing my own limits, and I gave it everything I had," he added.
The scene in question had Rohan to smoke continuously in a single take while performing a physically taxing act involving self-inflicted burning. It took multiple retakes to get everything just right. Smoking continuously in several takes began to affect his health, making the shoot even more exhausting.
Talking about the actor, Rohan stepped into the world of acting with the show Everest by Ashutosh Gowariker in 2014. He shot to fame with Everest, a year later was seen alongside Additi Gupta and Surbhi Jyoti in "Qubool Hai".
The actor was then seen playing Yug Chaydhary in Kaala Teeka in 2016. He then stepped into the shoes of late star Sidharth Shukla Dil Se Dil Tak opposite Jasmin Bhasin and Rashami Desai. Later, he was seen in Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka second season as Veer Verma opposite Tejasswi Prakash, Kunal Jaisingh and Aneri Vajani.
He was then roped in for Mahesh Manjrekar's 1962: The War in the Hills starring Abhay Deol, Sumeet Vyas, Akash Thosar, Mahie Gill, Pooja Sawant.

Wow, pushing physical limits for a role is next level commitment! 👏 Reminds me of the old-school dedication of actors like Amitabh Bachchan. If the performance makes us 'feel the pain', it will be worth it. All the best to the team!
Another intense project from Vikram Bhatt's camp! The love-triangle-gone-dark theme sounds intriguing. Rohan has been a consistent performer since his TV days. Curious to see his chemistry with Sunny Leone.
Honestly, after reading about the self-inflicted burning and continuous smoking, I'm a bit concerned. As an audience, we want good performances, but not at the cost of an actor's well-being. Hope the makers provided proper medical support on set.
His journey from 'Everest' to this is quite something. Always underrated. This kind of role could be his big break. The vertical project format is interesting too - perfect for our mobile-first generation.
The description of the scene sounds incredibly intense. It's one thing to act, another to put your body through that. Major props for the commitment. Will definitely check this out when it releases.
