Harshvardhan Rane Prepares for Action-Packed Role in Omung Kumar’s New Film: “Something I’ve Never Done Before”
Bollywood actor Harshvardhan Rane is ready to take his cinematic journey to the next level. The Sanam Teri Kasam star is undergoing intense martial arts training for an action-packed role in Omung Kumar’s upcoming film, which promises to present him in a completely new avatar.
Taking to Instagram, Rane dropped a behind-the-scenes video from his training session, teasing fans about the physical and emotional depth of his new role. The actor wrote:
“Training for something I have never showcased on screen before for @omungkumar Sir’s film. Shoot starts 1st July. Coach @kuldeepshashi.”
A Physically Demanding Transformation
In the clip, Harshvardhan is seen practicing martial arts techniques under the supervision of coach Kuldeep Shashi, known for training several Bollywood action stars. His movements hint at intense action choreography, suggesting that Rane is preparing for high-octane combat scenes.
While the title and plot of the film remain tightly under wraps, this early teaser has already created a buzz. With action, transformation, and raw energy, fans are eager to see the versatile actor take on this new challenge.
Omung Kumar: “He Is the Emotional and Physical Core of the Film”
National Award-winning filmmaker Omung Kumar, known for acclaimed biopics like Mary Kom and Sarbjit, shared his thoughts on casting Rane for this pivotal role.
“Harshvardhan was my first choice as the lead in the film. He brings a rare blend of raw honesty and quiet intensity that this role demands.”
Omung elaborated on the significance of Rane’s character:
“He’s not just playing the character — he is the emotional and physical core of the film. His presence carries both vulnerability and strength, which makes his performance the very soul of the story.”
Such praise has only increased expectations, suggesting that the film will lean heavily on character-driven storytelling infused with stylized action.
From Romance to Action: A Major Genre Shift
Harshvardhan Rane has previously earned praise for his roles in romantic and dramatic films like Sanam Teri Kasam, Taish, and Haseen Dillruba. With this new project, he is poised to break away from his romantic hero image, diving headfirst into an action-heavy, emotionally complex role.
