Ranbir Kapoor got coffee for everyone; Alia Bhatt greeted me with a warm hug-Rashi Mal

Rashi Mal, who was seen in Helicopter Eela, hopes Ranbir-Alia’s ambitious film Brahmastra will take her career in a new direction
Mohar Basu (MID-DAY; September 6, 2022)
A big week lies ahead for Rashi Mal, who was seen in several web series, including Hindmata and Boygiri. She is awaiting the release of Brahmastra, which marks her third Bollywood project after Helicopter Eela (2018) and Is Love Enough - Sir (2018). She remembers auditioning for the role, hardly knowing that she would be on director Ayan Mukerji’s set two days later.
“Ayan lets his actors [approach their character in their own way]. Such trust from the director puts you at ease,” shares Mal.
The actor plays a comic role in the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-led superhero drama. Working with such talented artistes has left her enriched. “The first time I met them was at Ayan’s house. Ranbir got coffee for everyone, and Alia greeted me with a warm hug. The one thing I have learnt from them is their composure in the face of so much public scrutiny. They are grounded and kind.”
As she tries to find a footing in the industry, Mal is hopeful that Brahmastra will give a boost to her career. In many ways, this is the big Bollywood break she was waiting for. “Brahmastra is one of the biggest films to come out of India. Being a part of it already has had its payoff in terms of my growth as a person and an artiste. It will hopefully open more doors for me.”
I was nervous during my first scene with Kajol-Rashi Mal

Growing up, she was a diehard fan, who had posters of Kajol plastered on the walls of her room. Back then, little did Rashi Mal know that one day, she will get to share screen space with her favourite actress. The young actress will be seen with Kajol in the upcoming film, Helicopter Eela, in which she will play her son’s girlfriend, Nikita.
Rashi, who has been part of several TV shows and the yet-to-release film, Sir (it won an award at Cannes Film Festival this year), says that it was a dream come true to work with Kajol. “I had to pinch myself when my moment came to shoot with her. I told her that she hasn’t aged a day since Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. She looked straight out of one of those posters I had in my room. I kept staring and smiling at her like a goofball,” she recalls.
About her experience of working with the senior actress, she shares, “I was nervous during my first scene with her. I didn’t want to fumble and somehow, she sensed it. Immediately, she started making me feel comfortable. She would also guide me and help me understand the camera angles better. We bonded over films, dark chocolate ice cream and taking Riddhi’s case.”
Rashi was spotted by director Pradeep Sarkar during an ad shoot, and she feels that the film will pave the path for her in mainstream cinema. “Working with renowned names helps. Since this is a mainstream film, I am sure that my work will get noticed, too. It’s a privilege to work with Pradeep sir. Even Riddhi, who has won a National Award, is level-headed and grounded. These people know what they are doing and they help bring out the best in you,” she signs off.
