Raveena Tandon
While the world is lapping up Raveena Tandon’s effortless performance in her comeback vehicle, Aranyak which, also marks her debut in the digital streaming service space, the actor has quietly shifted focus to her next project. From being the uncouth SHO Kasturi Dogra in a fictitious town of Himachal Pradesh, the actor has shifted gears to play an educated and glamorous elite woman in Manish Gupta’s One Friday Night.
The writer of Section 365, who has earlier helmed films including The Stoneman Murders (2009) and Rahasya (2015) is set to release his suspense drama next year. Gupta claims that while Tandon loved the script of the film, she was hesitant about shooting during the pandemic. “Raveena came on board because she liked my vision as a director. We shot the film in Lonavala through July and August this year after the second lockdown was lifted. There were no junior artistes in the movie and [we ensured] we shoot in controlled locations,” said the director, who believes that the actor’s true potential has not been explored in her earlier films. “Raveena is a brilliant performer with untapped potential. She has an arresting screen presence, which has been utilised to a great extent in One Friday Night. It’s a performance-driven role.” Apprehensive about meeting, Tandon couldn’t commit to workshops for the thriller. She resorted to watching movies and attended Zoom calls to prep for the role.
