'Satya 2' actor Amal Sehrawat reveals how Ram Gopal Varma reacted after seeing his audition

Actor Amal Sehrawat shares how Ram Gopal Varma cast him after a unique audition for 'Satya 2'. Discover the behind-the-scenes story.

"I need this actor for my film. - Ram Gopal Varma"

Mumbai, April 17

Actor Amal Sehrawat, who has worked with prominent filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma in films such as "Satya 2" and "Sarkaar 3," shared how the director reacted after watching his first audition.

He revealed that his favourite Hindi film has always been "Satya".

Talking about his debut movie, which happened to be "Satya 2", Amal stated, "The day I signed my first film contract for its sequel Satya 2, directed by Ram Gopal Varma sir, something within me said-this is the turning point. And it turned out to be true. My performance was appreciated by RGV sir as well as film critics like Taran Adarsh sir, which gave me a lot of confidence."

Sharing an interesting anecdote behind the casting in the film. He went on to add, "My photos were shortlisted, and I was called to RGV sir's office. He gave me a scene and asked me to prepare it right there. When I went in for the audition, there was no camera. He asked me to perform live. I performed, but he wasn't very impressed. He asked me to prepare again and come back in a proper, role-appropriate costume. I did that, but couldn't get another appointment as he got busy with pre-production. So I recorded my audition on a DVD and gave it to his Chief AD, Sujit Dube sir."

He disclosed that after finally seeing his audition, RGV said, "I need this actor for my film."

Amal admitted that the moment changed everything for him.

Asked about his mentors, Amal said, "It's difficult to name just one person. Ram Gopal Varma sir gave me my first film break, Rajan Shahi sir gave me my first television break, and my acting teachers have shaped me into who I am today. It's really a collective mentorship of many talented and kind individuals."

Now, Amal Sehrawat is ready to be in front of the camera yet again after a break of 3 years. He wishes to explore the film and OTT genres a lot more.

Satya is an all-time classic! The sequel didn't quite live up to it, but it's heartening to hear about an actor's genuine journey and gratitude. Wishing him success on OTT platforms.

Respect for acknowledging all his mentors. In our film industry, it's rare to see such humility. Hope he gets good roles now. The industry needs dedicated actors.

The DVD audition story is so relatable! Sometimes you have to create your own opportunities. Good on him for not giving up after the first try. More power to him!

Honestly, while I appreciate the struggle, I feel the article is a bit promotional. Satya 2 wasn't well-received. The real test will be his next project after this 3-year gap.

RGV's early work was brilliant. If he sees potential in an actor, that means something. Hope Amal gets a chance in a better script this time. OTT is the perfect space for such actors.
