Day 2,3,4,5,6,7,8... h-e-d (Apr 10-17)

The look...its taken forever.. Finally got some clarity on the costume late evening on the 8th, i.e. just a few hours before I left for Panchgani. Well, the costume actually deserves a seperate blog space just for the amount of time and patience it took to sort of put together what Shekhar would wear.
Well, we sort of have it now. Anil and shivani in consulation with the entire team of ADs, director, cinematographer and moi worked over time to okay the look. I think its the best we h've got after brainstorming and rejecting tons of ideas and colours. I like it!
First day - first schedule - first movie! Tensed, hell no! 'Anxious', I think would be an appropriate word! I guess it's normal to feel that way. M.T. (love the energy of the man) shared his experience and felt the same at the start of every film. I conclude it's a good feeling. First day in the jungle was probably the most tiring day of the sced. Shot in the jungles of mahabaleshwar for 3 days before we went to Wai and Satara.
Food on set has been great. Satisfied with the routine i've made for myself. shoot, some work out, some dinner, some tv,sleep. It's been consistent. Lessons learnt... need to be consistent all the time, every time, every take! Its tough but that's what great actors do effortlessly. Second, no effort! Third, again which M.T. shared, to be shamless and fearless..
The ride has just begun!
