Kadambari kannada serial cast and crew professional#
Our visit to the ‘Pattedari Prathiba’ set did burst misconceptions we’d harboured about an Indian TV serial’s set, and we came away impressed with the professional behind-the-scenes efforts of everyone involved. Everyone unanimously agreed that those are the happiest days of the week on set. TV sets are famous for their on-set food! It is mostly vegetarian cuisine, but twice a week they have a feast which is biryani or non-veg gravy. the production team will provide the outfit (if the budget for the serial’s costume design allows for it). However, when a s pecial costume is required, such as the police uniform worn by Inspector Ajay in ‘Pattedari Prathiba’. And sometimes drops of water are very carefully dropped near the eyes just before the scene is shot.Ĥ) Actors have to bring their own clothes Lights, camera, wide angleĪctors playing supporting or background characters often have to bring their own clothes to wear on set and sometimes the leads do as well. It reddens the eyes, and having a similar consistency to real tears, streams out of the eyes easily. We’re sorry to break the illusion, but the tears aren’t real. Indeed, crying makes such a regular appearance that it leaves one wondering how on earth its cast managed to handle the requisite amount of tears. Additionally, if the director feels there is a need for a change in a scene or dialogue, changes are made on the fly.ģ) The truth about crying on cue Crying on cueĪctors crying their eyes out on TV is a staple of TV serials, thanks to a truly diverse array of reasons: the wife crying about her husband cheating on her, the mother worrying about her children, the daughter-in-law having been insulted about her cooking by her mother-in-law, young love thwarted by various issues, the list goes on.

We learnt that at times, actors sometimes deliberately don’t read all the scenes ahead of their scheduled shoot instead, the director will read pieces of dialogue to the actors who respond to it organically for the shot. Not all scenes for the day are rehearsed ahead of time. The swiftness and ease of the entire process was amazing!Ģ) Improv (ing) Acting Script ready Prepping for a close-up Then, the actors prepped 1-2 minutes for their first scene, one mock shot was taken, and then the scene was filmed. The director guided the crew members about the scenes to be filmed for the day.

Here’s what we discovered:Īrriving on set, we discovered that everyone on set was prepped and ready to go including the actors who were ready before time, with their makeup already done. Sharmila Chandrashekar stars as Pratibha and Chandan Vijay as Inspector Ajay. To find out, we visited the sets of ‘Pattedari Prathiba’, a Kannada show about a housewife who becomes a detective, and helps her sister-in-law’s brother who is a police inspector to solve crimes.

But does the drama extend onto the sets? Are the actors divas when they’re off screen? In India, there’s no escaping regional TV shows.įrom the Hindi soap ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and Marathi ‘Chuk Bhul Dyavi Ghyavi’ to ‘Kadambari’ in Karnataka and ‘Chithi’ in Tamil Nadu, Indian serials captured the imaginations of millions of viewers in the country indeed, almost all of us have watched at least one episode of TV soaps with our mums, aunts and uncles, or grandparents.Īs you know, each episode is drenched in melodrama, packed with romance, revenge, family drama, and lots of stare offs.
