Amit Jain thrilled about Basera

Amit Jain is back in action with Basera, the new serial on NDTV Imagine. We spoke to him about his role and more:
"The role I'm playing is quite interesting. He is Shantanu, high court lawyer who has carried on his father's profession. His main aim is to help senior citizens, though he otherwise a happy-go lucky, romantic lovable guy. He has a special bond with his nephew, Anurag," says Amit. Shantanu is also very close to his father who he treats like a friend. "His father is the one who has taken care of him so Shantanu discusses everything with him. On the work front, he is a focused lawyer who always takes the side of truth and justice."

The actor says he did his research for the role. "I have done lots of research on the internet, especially with the vocabulary and body language. I also spoke to a high court lawyer about the right lingo. For example, the word 'barrister' is used for high court lawyers, not those who operate in the lower courts. I also asked him about the kind of cases that come up in high courts."

He tells us a funny incident from the shoot: "There was a car sequence in which Nandini's dupatta is flapping outside the car, and I had to tell her 'Madam aapka duppatta…'. But before I could say it, onlookers kept telling her. So there were many retakes and the final take happened after four hours."

Members of the Basera unit plan to do the rounds of Ganpati mandals and the Siddhivinayak temple. "I thank Sagar Arts and NDTV Imagine for giving me this show. We plan to gather a big group and pray for the show's success."
