I don’t think there was anything wrong with it. But it was not just sex, it was more of loving making as it was between a husband and a wife making out after marriage. Yes, I was required to perform one such scene. The rest of society and people stopped existing for me the day I started doing theatre.ĭid you have to perform sex-related scenes? I am glad the people whom I am answerable to are only my parents and couple of close ones. An actor like me cannot afford the luxury of embarrassment. But embarrassment doesn’t have space in an actor’s life. What kind of scenes would there be? How were they going to shoot the porn angle? Would the end-product come across as a C-grade film as it had no big name attached to it? These were the concerns which came up after the initial excitement. Then it sunk into me that the film was about a porn writer. When my director Akhilesh Jaiswal told me the idea that he wants to make a film on Mastram I was excited. Yes definitely there was a thought about how the script would turn out. Was there any embarrassment in accepting the role?Īctually, I think about the embarrassment now, I don’t think it was there. By the way I’ve been crowned for the best rendition of Mastram stories many times by my friends. So preparation for my character has been going on for the past 10 years. I also read Mastram for many years, so the words and subject were close to my life.
We used to have sessions during which everyone got the opportunity to read at least a page and then it was easy to make out who is a better speaker and who can engage everyone with his monologue. It was considered to be quite helpful for an actor as it helps to improve your visualisation and imagination. Honestly speaking, I didn’t have to read anything to prepare for the role as I had already read enough of Mastram’s porn during my theatre days in Delhi. How much of his porn writing did you read as preparation for your role? You play the legendary porn writer Mastram. MUMBAI: Theatre actor Rahul Bagga who plays the role of Hindi porn writer Mastram in the forthcoming bio-pic directed by Akhilesh Jaiswal answers sticky questions on the purpose of pornography.
