Villain has a better screen presence: Arpit Ranka

Actor Arpit Ranka who plays the powerful Duryodhan in Swastik Productions Mahabharat has already done seven films down South and his next will be a Telugu film. Rey, his next film, is a violent romance and Teja (megastar Chiranjeevi’s nephew) will be debuting through this flick.
Arpit would be seeing as Dange who is a don in USA. “Mahabharat is my debut on television but I have been doing Telugu and Tamil films for the last few years in South.I said yes to Rey because I have never played the character of a don before and the entire film was shot in US. So it was an interesting way to explore US and mix work with pleasure. This film has some of the best techniques and people involved in the process. I would always prefer to play a negative character because villains have more screen presence and our films prove that.”

Arpit who is a big fan of late Amrish Puri feels he had the most impactful screen presence whether it was Mogambo of Mr India or the ruthless lawyer of Meri Jung. The baritone voice of Amrish Puri and his dialogue delivery were things to watch out for. “I would like to play more negative characters in my career. Talking about Mahabharat’s experience Arpit is looking forward to Draupadi's bastraharan sequence.”
