Magnum Opus historic show Porus has set well with the viewers and the strong characters bring out the essence. In order to maintain the body language and composure, actors of the show have taken up various forms of fitness training to maintain their bodies.
One such actress is
Shraddha Musale who plays Mahanandi Darshyu on the show. Shraddha has been learning Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) for the show.
When asked to reveal the reason to lean the art
she says, “MMA prepared me well for the role. Rather than just depicting the character physically, it is understanding the mental make-up of the character that matters, and MMA has helped me achieve that.”
After her stint as Tarika on CID, Porus is Shraddha Musale’s first historic period drama. This involves her to change her body language completely to fit the character.
She adds, “I wasn’t apprehensive because I am playing a strong character. The show is set in a matriarchal society where all the decisions are taken by the queen.”
