‘Prahar, The Ujjwal Nikam Story’ will be released soon: Nikam said – Rajkumar did not copy me, he assimilated the entire body language.

Rajkumar Rao starrer film ‘Prahar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story’ will be released soon. Senior advocate and former public prosecutor Nikam himself shared special things about its preparation and Rajkumar’s method acting. Ujjwal Nikam says that ‘Rajkumar Rao did not ask continuous questions like traditional research. He used to sit in front for a long time just watching how I sit, how I hold the file and how I use my hands while arguing in the court. Rajkumar did not copy me, but absorbed the entire body language. He asked me less questions, but caught every subtle nuance of mine very well. The focus was on understanding the personality rather than memorizing the dialogues. According to Nikam, ‘Rajkumar was more interested in understanding the personality that he had to live on screen than memorizing the dialogues. He is an introvert in real life but he keeps recording in his mind everything that is done to prepare for the character. The special thing is that he does not waste time in unnecessary conversations. This is the biggest strength of his preparation. Special effort was also made on the voice. Nikam says that ‘A lawyer’s identity in the court is determined not only by his legal knowledge but also by his presentation. When will the voice be loud, when will it be low and how much pause should be taken on which argument. The prince worked especially hard on these details. He not only memorized the dialogues, but also tried to capture the rhythm in which I argue in the court. Rajkumar caught Nikam’s style by watching old videos. Apart from personal meetings, Rajkumar watched many old arguments and recordings of Nikam again and again. According to Nikam, ‘I noticed that he used to watch my videos again and again to understand the emphasis on words, speed of speaking and facial expressions. It was not an exercise in memorizing any dialogue, but in absorbing a person’s personality. Rajkumar also saw the real court proceedings along with director Avinash Arun and understood the live environment by visiting the real court with the director. Nikam says that ‘Rajkumar understood by going to the real court that the courtroom is a completely different world from the films. There every word matters, every reaction is controlled. Restraint is more important than acting. Nikam himself reached the set during the shooting and spoke the dialogues. According to Nikam, it is easy to copy a person exactly but it is difficult to make him believable on screen. Rajkumar did not try to copy my voice or movements. He tried to understand my thinking, reactions and energy. During the shooting of a court scene, I suddenly reached the set and spoke the dialogue which Rajkumar was supposed to speak. The entire unit was shocked for a few moments. Later, when everyone realized that it was a joke, there was laughter on the set.
