Actress Nidhi Subbaiah was last seen in the romcom outing
Ajab Ghazab Love. From playing a cool chic, it was time for her to move into a
rustic zone with Direct Ishq, a movie which has been set in Banaras. In an
author backed role where she plays the part of an aspiring rock-star from the
holy city, Nidhi knew that she had to look and act the part.
But, she wasn't prepared for the hardships that were on the
way to glory.
"You make it sound really scary, though trust me, I
enjoyed every bit of it," reveals Nidhi, who is said to have delivered her
most 'bindaas' performance ever in the romantic musical entertainer, "Yes,
Direct Ishq is by all means the toughest role of my life. The weather
conditions were really tough."
Considering the fact that she also had to be seen in
rockstar outfit for a major part of the movie, leather pants and boots were
everyday outfits.
The first step in this direction was to prepare for the
role, which means developing the kind of body language that goes with a
rockstar.
"I went to YouTube and checked out many videos of live
performances. I kept referring to notes for almost 25 days of the shooting. I
designed a particular look for myself too. However, if this required good work,
there were excruciating weather conditions to deal with as well. With the
temperature touching 53 degrees, you can well imagine how it must have felt to
shoot outdoors," reveals Nidhi.
It was all in good time though for Nidhi.
"Not just 'Ganga Maiyya', I had to stress myself for
Mera Kissa as well. I must have given my body so much pain while shooting these
rock tracks that my neck was sprained in a matter few days. However, when I
look back at the results, it was all worth it," she tells.
