Anshuman Jha shared his room with Shahrukh the goat
Anshuman Jha who made his debut with the very talked about Dibakar
Banerjee’s Love Sex aur Dhoka had to share his room with a Goat while shooting
for his next film Bakrapur, the goat who was named Shahrukh. The film was shot during
winters in a remote village called Chillargi which is 30 km away from Bidar. The
production had managed to get a room each in one of the village houses for the male &
female actors respectively. But the goat who was the principal main actor of
the film was put up with Anshuman in his room as he got along well with
Anshuman.
Initially the goat got along well with him but the last days of
the schedules were very difficult as the goat started throwing tantrums. Suddenly the
goat wanted to use Anshuman’s bed in his room. He use to kick everyone on the
sets and didn’t move during the shots.
When asked Anshuman about his experience with the goat he
said, “Animals have
instincts beyond us. I finally had to move out into a smaller room in the
corner & the goat had his space. I guess Animals can have an actor ego too
but we are still friends :).”
