Bhopal based actor, Vivek Anand Mishra who was last seen in television show RadhaKrishn will now make his bollywood debut playing the role of teen age Osho in a movie called Secrets of Love, directed by Ritesh S Kumar.
The actor says, “I learned acting from Bhopal. I had done theatre here before shifting to mumbai. I had my own struggle to became an actor, and somehow I’m still struggling. My parents supported me a lot. They motivated me and made me trust that I can bring my acting dream come true. I started with doing a daily soap. But now I’m moving ahead to live my bollywood dream. I’m thankful to casting Director Ayan who had supported me to enjoy the beautiful chance to play the role of osho, during his teen age. Later the role is taken forward by popular actor Ravi Kishan.”
The film is inspired by some of the important events of Acharya Rajneesh life, his philosophy and journey from being Rajneesh to Osho, global fame, his foundation, differences with the government and more. Talking about preparing himself for the role. Vivek adds, “For the shoot, I had to do two months workshop. And later I read and watch many videos on Osho to get into the character. Its a big responsibility for me as Osho is a great devine soul with millions of followers around the world.”
Casting Director Ayan Khan revealed that casting three different actors who should look similar to play Osho was a great challenge. He says, “The project is very special for me. Being a follower of Osho is was my responsibility and interest to bring someone who can portray and look like him. Ravi Kishan was all my idea. I can match his eyes to osho. And makers loved him. Apart from him after so many auditions and struggle we got our teen Osho in Vivek Mishra.”
