I have never been kicked on-screen by a lady: Om Puri

Even a heavy rainfall on a Friday afternoon didn’t deter the star cast of upcoming movie Waarrior Savitri to attend the media interaction activity. They showed that they are truly the new age superheroes. Debutante Niharica Raizada and veteran actor Om Puri who play ‘Savitri’ & ‘Yamraj’ respectively were present to interact with the gathered media. Powerful actor Karmveer Chaudhary who plays an important role in the film had also arrived for the media interaction.

Unlike those movies where mythological characters would don costumes of a by-gone era, characters in the film are depicted in a more relatable manner for today’s audience. Both Om ji & Niharica have shared an amazing on-screen rapport and that was visible in real life too. They both enacted a small fight sequence for the guests. Also present were producers of the film – Upendra Maheshwari & Bobby Kanda.

Om Puri said, “The audience will get to see my role of a Yamraj in a different avatar. Also for the first time in my career, I have been kicked on-screen by a lady.” He further added, “But more than that they should watch the film for Niharica’s acting. She has performed all her action sequences without using a body double.”

Actress Niharica Raizada was quoted, “I am glad that Waarrior Savitri is my debut film as I got an opportunity to portray all kinds of emotions ranging from romance to action. I don’t think there could have been any other better debut than this.”
