One can't just go and grab an electric wire to understand the reaction, said Ranveer Singh

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has opened up about shooting a scene of getting an electric shock in the film Cirkus. He shares that the film director Rohit Shetty made him do the rehearsals repeatedly so as to make it look realistic.

"Rohit Sir made me rehearse the scene way before we started shooting, to perfect the reaction of a person getting electrified. We rehearsed so much that our scenes look very natural and are not overdone. It is not a situation where you can take real-life experience and perform."

Ranveer made his acting debut with Band Baaja Baaraat, and later did films such as Lootera, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani , Simmba, among others and he also hosted the TV show The Big Picture.

He shares further how he tried his best to bring perfection to the scene: "One can't just go and grab an electric wire to understand the reaction. I have tried to do it my way and there are a few special effects added by Rohit Sir to make it look more real."
