Manav Vij on prep for Tanaav 2
In an exclusive chat with OTTplay, Manav Vij revealed there was more preparation required for action sequences for the second season of Tanaav. The actor mentioned a coach, who works for Hollywood movies, was appointed on the set.
"We did a 5-day workshop. We would go in the morning. And for the first time in my life, he (the coach) told me how to breathe while holding a gun. It is very important to be comfortable with gun handling. Unhone hume train kiya. You will be able to see something good in action this time: our agility and presence of mind," said Manav.
The actor added that looking good while doing action is a different case. He believes that having a presence of mind is very important during intense action sequences. "While doing action, presence of mind is important because you can get injured also. It's not very safe. But jo presence of mind iss baar raha, I was very secure ki nahi kuch hoga," stated Vij.
Manav also revealed that he gives respect to the script and the demand and emotion of the action sequences as an actor. "Action is not just for action, there is an emotion for it. There is a reason for it," he added.
