It's not uncommon to hear stories of co-stars not getting along, or having bitter showdowns on set. But Aasiya Kazi found herself in an unusual dilemma during the recent shoot of Tenali Rama. The actor, who plays the protagonist's mother Sharda in the comedy, had to share screen space with a rooster. Not in her wildest dreams had Kazi imagined that she would have a bird for a co-star.
In the world of television where plot has little to do with logic and suspension of disbelief reigns supreme, the track sees Sharda harbour the belief that the rooster is her son. Narrating the experience of her two-day shoot, she says, "A scene required the bird to jump off my lap and run as I chased it. Instead, he would jump off and hide in nooks and corners. So, the director asked the ADs [assistant directors] to stand in every corner and drive the bird away so that he would remain within the frame. We finally managed to complete the chase scene after a few retakes, but it was funny to see the entire unit shooing the bird around."
