Kartik Aaryan’s debut film Pyaar Ka Punchnama made him an overnight sensation in 2011, thanks to his controversial monologue. The actor, who played a frustrated boyfriend, shot the 6-minute-long sequence aka rant in one go and absolutely nailed his part. But what if I tell you that another TV actor just broke Kartik’s record by shooting the world’s longest monologue? I bet I’ve piqued your interest!
Popular TV actor, Ravie Dubey recently added another feather to his cap as he shot for the world’s longest 28-minute-long monologue sequence for his upcoming courtroom drama, Lakhan Leela Bhargav. The most fascinating bit? The entire scene was shot in one take and with a single camera. Sharing the thrilling experience during an interview, Ravie said, “As an actor, I feel it’s our constant responsibility to push the envelope and deliver new, unique, and interesting content to the audience. It’s our responsibility to attempt what’s not been done to the best of our ability. This 28-minute single-shot monologue was one such opportunity that I got very excited about. We realized we have a winner at hand that can set a precedent.”
The actor also talked about how the show’s courtroom setting served as the perfect opportunity for the sequence. In his words, “We worked on the script overnight on the sets post our shift and immediately shot it the next day in a single take. Being a courtroom drama, the setting lent us an opportunity to attempt something like this, I am happy to report it went wonderfully well and we can safely say that this is among the longest single-shot monologues in the world. This sequence adds a certain gravitas that not only elevates the impact of the show but also creates a valuable asset that we all will cherish for our lifetime.”
