Actor Riteish Deshmukh, who has started filming Ravi Jadhav’s “Banjo” with actress Nargis Fakhri, revealed that the shooting of the film was supposed to begin in October 2015, but it got delayed as he had to grow his hair long for his role. “Regarding the look it was Ravi Jadav’s wish to do something different with the look. The character I play, which stays in a slum, has a unique style. So Krishika (Lulla) insisted that I should grow my hair long,” Riteish said.
“I am really excited to do the film as this character is quite unique. Every day when I come to shoot I feel eagerness to work. It keeps me feel live on set”. “We were about to start shooting last October, but was busy doing ‘Housefull 3’. I had to push the shoot to have enough time to grow the hair and style it accordingly,” he added.
The actor also revealed that he had learnt Hawaiian guitar in his childhood and knows how to play “Banjo”. The film’s music has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar and lyrics have been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Directed by Ravi Jadhav, “Banjo” also stars actor Luke Kenny, who played one of the four key characters in the 2008 film “Rock On!!”. “Banjo” will be produced by Eros International.
