Exclusive - Padmini Kolhapure on Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan: TV and films each come with their own set of dynamics, the medium might vary, but the core of the craft remains the same
Veteran actress Padmini Kolhapure is winning hearts with her powerful performance as the dignified Rajmata in the majestic period drama, Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan. In an exclusive interview with Times of India TV, the acclaimed actress shared insights about stepping into this iconic role, her experience working in the television space, and the detailed preparation she undertook to portray the character. You already have a remarkable legacy behind you, but how has your experience been working in television? Honestly, it doesn't feel very different. The medium might vary, but the core of the craft remains the same. Television and films each come with their own set of dynamics. For instance, cinema is often called the director's playground, while television is largely actor-driven. But ultimately, it all comes down to performance—whether it's on a small screen or the big one. The scale might differ, but the work is still acting. Television is such a hectic medium. Have you experienced it? I definitely have, many times. Just a few days ago, I had a one-day shoot, and it lasted for 14 hours. But even earlier in my career, I've worked long hours, double shifts, even triple shifts. We've done all of that before. It's intense, but it's not new to us. Still, every time, it feels like a new kind of challenge." You play a mentor, a mother figure — basically, everything rolled into one. What kind of research did you do on your end to prepare for this role? I honestly believe that every working woman who manages a career, marriage, children all of it is a Rajmata in her own right. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Seriously though, I did try to understand what that life must have been like. I watched a lot of films on royalty, kings, queens, the regal lifestyle, mainly to grasp the body language and nuances. Although this role didn't require intense method prep, that's just how I am. I naturally like to dig deep into anything I do. If I don't fully understand something, I tend to ask a lot of questions, sometimes nag the director a bit, until I feel confident. And you know, while I was researching, I noticed how my algorithm on social media started showing me content related to Prithviraj Chauhan. There's so much ambiguity around the series made on his life, but clearly, there's interest. Otherwise, they wouldn't be making such shows, right? Continued... He was such a young king, depending on which version you read. Imagine the kind of strength and steel that it took. And it's said his mother, the Rajmata, had a profound influence on him. That really moved me. It's inspiring to portray such layered figures. That's what I love about long-format storytelling. You can really explore the depths of characters, their layers, emotions, motivations. In films, you have to wrap it up in two or three hours, so there's less room for that kind of gives you the space to really live the character. Salman Khan Drops Health Bombshell on National TV

Exclusive- Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan's Anuja Sathe on the content explored on TV: People want to see female-centric characters on screen
Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, television's vast historical epic, continues to captivate audiences with an incredible storyline, grand visuals, and strong performances. Anuja Sathe exclusively shared whether she plans to return to TV and the kind of roles she wishes to portray. Anuja on whether she has plans to return to TV, "No, not yet. Not on TV, no daily. I've just finished shooting for a web show, which is a very different, completely different genre. It's something in the pipeline, and I recently shot for it. So, when you're fully occupied with something like this on TV, there's no chance to shoot for another show because the demands are so high and it's very time-consuming. Therefore, it's impossible to work on another TV show. However, of course, there are different mediums you can explore, and you can juggle two or three projects simultaneously." She further reacted on what should be explored on TV in terms of content, "There are so many things that we've not done. Or I would say that now the perspective of looking towards content has already changed, and we are seeing a lot of women-centric projects coming up, and content coming up. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo So, I think sooner or later, I mean, it's already happening. So, I don't know who's working on what right now at this moment, but I'm sure that people want to watch something new, people want to go back to their roots, and people want to see female-centric characters on screen. " Anuja would love to see the warrior side of Bajirao, as well as explore it herself. "I have done Peshwa Bajirao with the same channel before. It was again a historical. So, I don't mind seeing Peshwa's other side instead of seeing the Bajirao-Mastani love story. But I would love to see the warrior side of Peshwa Bajirao again."
