EXCLUSIVE: Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar appreciate Bhagwat director Akshay Shere: “His energy charged the whole set!” : Bollywood News

Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar have joined forces for the gripping crime thriller Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas, directed by Akshay Shere. The film’s unsettling premise has already drawn comparisons to the infamous Cyanide Mohan case, setting expectations high for a chilling and intense narrative. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Arshad and Jitendra opened up about their admiration for director Akshay Shere — the driving force behind the film’s energy and vision.

EXCLUSIVE: Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar appreciate Bhagwat director Akshay Shere: “His energy charged the whole set!”Jitendra began by describing the filmmaker’s precision and clarity, saying, “The director is very passionate and gives clear instructions for every scene.” Arshad, who has always been vocal about the importance of collaborative filmmaking, agreed wholeheartedly. His face lit up as he recalled the infectious atmosphere on set. “His energy would charge up the whole team — everyone stayed excited!” he added. The veteran actor further shared how the director’s leadership brought out the best in every performer: “He never shouted, never imposed. Instead, he made you want to give your best. That’s rare, and it brings out something special in every actor.”

Jitendra echoed the sentiment, appreciating the creative freedom he experienced during filming. “Jab director khud scene ko jeeta hai, toh hum bhi ussi josh se perform karte hain (When the director himself lives the scene, you perform with the same passion),” he said.

Both actors agreed that the film’s set maintained the perfect mix of intensity and ease. “It never felt like work,” Jitendra smiled. “It felt like we were part of something genuinely exciting.”

As the conversation drew to a close, Arshad summed it up perfectly: “In the end, a film is a reflection of its director’s energy. Ours had plenty — and it shows on screen.”

With such camaraderie and conviction behind the camera, Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas promises to deliver a powerful story that blends realism, suspense, and emotion in equal measure.

Backed by Jio Studios, Baweja Studios, and Dog ‘n’ Bone Pictures, the film dives into the dark underbelly of a prostitution racket and the haunting truths that emerge from its investigation. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja, Harman Baweja, Kanishk Gangwal, and Vipin Agnihotri, the film stars Arshad as Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat and Jitendra as Sameer, a professor entangled in the mystery.
