Chandigarh Oct. 14, 2020:- Sony SAB's widely acclaimed historical fiction show, Tenali Rama, continues to win viewers' hearts by reviving the ancient tales and anecdotes of the legendary scholar and poet Tenali Rama and taking them right into the heart of Raja Krishnadevaraya's Vijayanagar. The show continues to gain immense love and support for its engaging and values driven storyline that offers entertainment across all ages in a family.
Talking about the glorious success on television and sharing their experience so far, Krishna Bharadwaj –everyone's beloved Pandit Rama Krishna and Tarun Khanna – the celebrated king Krishnadevaraya, get candid about their journey so far as artistes and a lot more.
Krishna Bharadwaj, better known as Pandit Rama Krishna since past three and a half years shared key highlights of the journey so far, that he has lived this character for so long that he does not even remember his life before Tenali Rama. Pandit Rama Krishna is a part of him, and he is so glad that he has had the opportunity to adopt all the noteworthy qualities of Rama. This show has given him immense love and support from the fans, and it is indeed a heartwarming feeling when a character succeeds in creating a positive change in someone's life. A lot of fans reach out to him talking about how the show made them smile or helped them cope with difficult times. As an actor, it is really fulfilling.
Krishna further added that he feels, he was in his destiny to play the character of Pandit Rama Krishna and his preparation started right since he was a child. He belongs from a Hindi speaking background with his father being a Ph.D. holder, and his uncle also a post-graduate degree holder in Sanskrit. So, for him language was not a problem. His interpretation and inspiration of Pandit Rama Krishna has been that of a modern Lord Krishna.
Talking about his learnings through the show and his character, Krishna said that Tenali Rama brought a unique combination of comedy and intelligence together. His greatest take away has been Rama's sheer wit and intelligence. Pandit Rama Krishna's energy is really vibrant, and he has learnt how one can be happy and content in life. One of his greatest takeaways from the show has been the fact that to in order to do comedy, one does not need to insult someone or make fun of someone. Tenali Rama has hit the mark to provide the ultimate light-hearted comedy for all age groups.
Tarun, while sharing his views on the reasons behind the success of this show, said that since his childhood till now, he has never come across a show that is a total family entertainer and at the same time high on values. Tenali Rama is a show that familiarizes the audience with our Indian culture. In his family his 6-year-old son and his 75-year old father-in-law watch this show together. There are hardly any shows that can bring such distinct age groups together. The characters have been so beautifully and cleverly designed that even a character like Amma who has no dialogues in the show has been loved. The characters are so well rounded and unique that makes him stand out in any situation. This is immense hard work and dedication that has determined the success of this show.
Sharing about their experience of working with one another, Krishna said that he feels Rama and Krishnadevaraya's character are like Lord Krishna and Sudama. Rama practically worships Krishnadevaraya and would do anything for him. So, the chemistry between these two characters is really important for the show. After Tarun's arrival on the show, we never lacked the chemistry. It was there since day one." Adding further, Tarun said that he was thrilled to be a part of this show as it is fulfilled his childhood dream of being a part of the world of Tenali Rama. Before joining the show, I had not watched any of the episodes and I got the glimpse of Krishna's talent on his first day of the shoot. He has rarely seen artists who have such a stronghold on their language and Krishna is certainly one of those few actors.
Krishna and Tarun concluded by saying that the show will be a benchmark of our lives, while it gave one the biggest break of his career whereas it fulfilled the childhood dream of the other.
