Gajraj Rao turns director for Sucheeta Trivedi’s Indiawaali Maa promo – bollywood

Actor Gajraj Rao donned the director’s hat for a TV show’s promo recently and shot it all remotely, through video calls. Sucheeta Trivedi talks about her upcoming show Indiawaali Maa and how she shot the promo with Gajraj helming things through video calls.

Sharing her experience of working on the promo, Sucheeta said, “This is the first time I’ve seen a promo being shot virtually and it was sure a stroke of genius what it took for Gajraj to do it! He beautifully guided us and directed the whole crew too while being on a video call and we are going to remember this one for the long haul. He guided us perfectly about the camera angles, costumes, expressions and dialogue delivery while on a video call and the scenes came to us naturally and perfect thanks to him.”

Talking about the show, she added, “I’m sure he must have got what Indiawaali Maa is all about and even the promo highlights the nature of every single mother all over. It was an irony that the line in the promo said ‘agar video call pe baat karungi toh lagega sach me kar li’, while under Gajraj’s captainship it felt like he really was on the set all the time guiding all his assistants. The story of the show Indiawaali Maa is very emotional and every person could relate too.”

The promo was unveiled last week and Sucheeta had shared it on her Instagram. “An ode. A dedication. A salute to all mothers. For they rise again and again for their children. For even when their own soul is tired they find strength for their children. show @indiawaalimaa#jaymehtaproduction #sonytvofficial @sheendass @akshaymhatre11 @kinnarimehtaa @itsjaymehtaa @priyamishra090 @ismniteshpandey,” she wrote.

Gajraj was recently seen in Kunal Kemmu’s Lootcase that saw a direct-to-digital release. Gajraj has been working in the industry since 1994 (Bandit Queen) but gained significant recognition post Ayushmann Khurana’s Badhaai Ho in 2018. About the debate of insider-outsider debate, Gajraj recently told Hindustan Times, “A lot of the popular actors in the industry are outsiders. If you see many stars kids haven’t done well. And there are others who’ve surpassed their parents like Hrithik Roshan, or Tiger Shroff, who has created his own space in the industry. Being born in a certain family isn’t a crime, you need to have it in you (to make it big). In fact, I sympathise with these star kids; they have this extra pressure on them to prove themselves,”
