Prabhas’ Villain: “My Wife Refused to Sleep with Me”

Prabhas and Chunky Pandey shared the screen in Saaho, released in 2019.

Since his debut as a villain in Begum Jaan in 2017, Chunky Pandey has shown the world a new face of his. It was a stark contrast from his usual comedic characters.

Saaho, starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor turned out a commercial success in Hindi. Chunky Pandey played the villain in the film.

In a recent interview, the actor opened up about his transition from the signature Chunky Pandey comic characters to the dark and intense villainic characters.

Chunky Pandey’s role in Begum Jaan was menacing and terrifying. It was a complete change from the Chunky people were so used to seeing on screens.

The actor talked about how playing such characters isn’t easy. It not only affected him on set, but it also affected his life at home.

He admitted that after the role, his wife, Bhavna Pandey, refused to sleep in the same bedroom as him. The intensity of his character was such that his wife was scared that he would hurt her in her sleep.

Chunky’s role in the film is a testament to his range and skill as an actor.

While the experience was unnerving for his family, this role marked a significant milestone in Chunky’s career. It proved that he had more to offer to the screen than just a comedic flair.

The actor also hinted at another project in the making where fans can expect yet another reinvented persona. This performance may just further solidify his reputation as an actor who isn’t afraid to experience and take on new challenges.
