The New Year may have started with a bang for many people but certainly not for actor Tarun Khanna. Reason? He had a difficult time shooting for an underwater sequence in Swastik Pictures’ Shobha Somnath Ki wherein he plays the role of Dadda Chalukya.

“There is a sequence in the show wherein Dadda Chaulukya will be seen fighting with enemy soldiers in a pond. We went to a place ahead of Umargaun, 250 km from Mumbai, to shoot it,” informs Tarun.

He further continues, “It was freezing cold and we were waiting for the sun to come out. Even during cold evenings, we kept on shooting. This is the first time that I have done something like this in my career and trust me it was really strenuous and tough.”

Furthermore, the talented actor had to wear a heavy costume and sport a wig and a moustache. While shooting, he had to make sure that his wig and moustache were in place. “It was quite tough. Moreover, I was terrified to shoot in the pond where the locals bathe bulls and cows,” smiles the actor.

Though it was tough scene, but at the end all went well and like a true professional, Tarun enjoyed and learnt a lot from it. “It was strenuous but I did enjoy a lot. Siddharth Tewary (of Swastik) is great to work with and I am growing as an actor with ,” he ends.
