“My first TV series was a Malayalam show called Sarthagam directed by Sushma Ahuja who would later go on to do Malini Iyer with Sridevi. I was super raw as an actor, which I can clearly see today,” she chuckles.Īctor Shylaja Chetlur, who is today an active personality in film circles, conducting cinema appreciation sessions and also applying herself behind the camera, began her journey in 1999 when she was 30 years old and mother to two children. “I wanted to hide myself when I saw the show. It was only several years later, when she recently got a call from a friend, telling her that the show was being re-telecast on TV, that she was able to see for herself the very place from where she started out. There were people watching me from below and with the way I performed, I thought I was a born actor!” she laughs. I remember I had to cry on the balcony for a scene that was filmed during the night.
This, I actually mistook to be my fantastic acting skills.
“They gave me this magic liquid called glycerin and tears rolled down my cheeks. But having done the series, Devadarshini tells us that she was bowled over by her own performance on the show.Īctor Devadarshini | photo courtesy: Instagram I was too young and had no previous experience,” she shares. At first, I was very reluctant to do the show. “Anchor Priyadarshini (DD’s sister) too was playing a role in the show and it was her mother who connected the team with me. The opportunity came her way when the show’s producer saw her photo that was published in Kumudham magazine. “It was a well written script,” she adds. The show aired for 13 episodes and Devadarshini filmed for about 15 days during her winter holidays in her final year of college. Here is the list of who plays whom - the cast of characters (roles they play) in Vishnu Puran.At just 18, Devadarshini played the role of a “meek and weak” working woman stuck in a bad marriage. Viewers will get to see episodes that show stories from the Dashavataras or 10 reincarnations of Lord Vishnu - the protector of the universe - and related stories. You will get to see Nitish Bharadwaj (who played Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's television adaptation of the Mahabharat) cast as Lord Shri Vishnu and Vaidehi as Goddess Lakshmi. ' Vishnu Puran' is based on the ancient scripture by the same name - Vishnu Purana - which tells of 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu and other stories that are about Lord Vishnu. Like the Mahabharat, this series too was produced and directed by BR Chopra. Door Darshan begins the re-airing of Vishnu Puran, a television series (originally telecast in 2000). No sooner has the telecast of BR Chopra's ' Mahabharat' (from 1988) ended on Doordarshan, a new series on Indian Pauranic texts is set to begin. Indian viewers are in for a treat with another serial ' Vishnu Puran' now being beamed into their drawing rooms through Doordarshan - the most widely available terrestrial television channel in India.
But the government has been - through flagship channel Doordarshan, India's public service broadcaster, been trying to keep the citizens entertained and informed. The lockdown across India necessitated due to the control measures in place on account of the coronavirus pandemic has virtually locked in the 1.3 billion Indians within the confines of their homes. Spread over nearly 128 episodes, watch a TV serial that will be your primer on Indian Pauranic scriptures, with a little tweaking to suit the television format's narration style.
