Recently Mahesh Shetty was seen in Siddharth Anand’s action-thriller ‘Fighter’. With her innocent smile, warm personality and acting abilities, she has cleverly created a unique place for herself in the hearts of the audience. In the film, Mahesh plays the role of Squadron Leader Rajan Unnithan, the wingman of Patty (played by Hrithik Roshan). The film also stars Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor in lead roles.

Mahesh candidly shared his experience of shooting the film and elaborated on the difficulties faced by the cast, which included shooting in cold temperatures and living in Air Force quarters. The actor said, “We shot a large portion of the film at one of the largest airports in India using real fighter planes. We practically lived there with Air Force officers and learned a lot every day. It was a challenging experience, as we were almost completely cut off from the outside world. Due to security reasons, we were not allowed to take our mobile phones inside. Still, it was an experience I will always cherish. The weather was pleasant during our stay, but when we went to Kashmir it was a different story. The temperature dropped to -2 degrees and it was snowing heavily. We had to film snow fight and bike riding scenes, and we were all freezing. Shooting in the snow is nothing like spending a snow holiday – it is a very challenging experience.

He further added, “Hrithik and I were required to do flight simulation for our roles in the film. Sidharth sir had arranged for us to attend a rigorous boot camp even before we started shooting for the film. During this, we Interacted with officials to learn.” We were given a lot of reading material to become familiar with the ins and outs of each jet and G forces, aircraft construction, and other important details. On the set, we had an officer, Ramon, who helped us with our body language and other nuances to make our performance more realistic. I also met some NSG commanders and attended their boot camps to get a better understanding of what it is like to be a man in uniform.”

Meanwhile, the actor is working on his upcoming series ‘Kan Khajura’, which is an adaptation of the Israeli show ‘Magpie’. The show also stars Mohit Raina and Roshan Mathew.
