All about Vijay-Arnold Vosloo clash in Ranabaali
Vijay Devarakonda's Ranabaali directed by Rahul Sankartiyan of Taxiwala fame got bigger when Hollywood star Arnold Vosloo joined it.
Arnold Vosloo played the antagonist in the film Mummy. Rahul Sankartiyan says “We knew that we wanted a strong Hollywood actor for this part, which is inspired from a real character. So we contacted several agencies for the part. We were keen on Arnold as his work in The Mummy is so well known in India and adds to a strong nostalgia factor as well for audience.”
He added “It was definitely a moment of being star stuck for me as well as we have watched his films for so long.I hope that this sentiment resonates with the film lovers as well.”
He shared “He didn’t know about Indian cinema in detail but he knew of some films. He spoke about RRR because it is an Oscar-winning film and people in the West are aware of it. He praised the Indian style of filmmaking by saying how well we make films even if sometimes resources are limited,”
He revealed “Arnold had some friends in Hyderabad and in between schedules he would explore the city. He loved the climate of the city and visited so many local temples there,”
He said “The climax scene of the film is the highlight of the film. It took us 16 days to shoot and the drama and chemistry of this scene is crazy,”
