Rishabh Sawhney unfiltered

1. Rishabh, congratulations on your outstanding role in FighterCan you tell us how the whole casting process went?

Oh god, I still can’t believe it! In April 2022, I got a call to audition for a film through Mukesh Chhabra’s casting team. I went, did what I had to do, and honestly, I completely forgot about it afterwards. But then, two months later, they called me again asking me to come to their office to do some variations of the same scene. I guess they liked my audition! And then, just 10 days after that second audition, I got another call saying that Siddharth Anand himself loved my auditions and wanted to meet me. And then I had an hour-long meeting with him, and I couldn’t believe it when they told me that I got the role. It all seems so surreal.

2. How did your experiences in modeling and bodybuilding prepare you for a career in acting?

Honestly, modelling was never on my radar. It just fell into my lap after I moved to Mumbai. But my goodness, it has given me so much more than I could have ever asked for! It has taught me to have a better temperament, be more patient and own myself in front of the camera, which was very important for me. And of course, bodybuilding has always been my mainstay, keeping me focused and disciplined. Funny how life takes you down unexpected paths, isn’t it?

3. What attracted you to the script for Fighter and what was your experience like working on the film?

The kind of character I got and the sheer star power of the film was what drew me in. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Being directed by such an incredible director and filming with so many stars was out of this world. I learned a lot.

4. Can you share any memorable moments or challenges from your time on set? Tell us a little about your off-screen bond with Hrithik and something you have learnt from him. Let us know if you both share any interesting anecdotes.

Ah, the action scenes… every single one of them was unforgettable for me. I felt like I was in my element. I was meant to do this. It was surreal, but in a good way. And, you know, people always ask me if I forged a close bond with Hrithik, but honestly, I didn’t. We met twice after the film, and he was lovely and very cordial, but that’s about it. He focuses on attention to detail, discipline, and taking charge – those are some important skills to have. I definitely took notes!

5. What advice would you give to aspiring models or bodybuilders who want to enter the industry?

If I had to give one piece of advice to someone trying to make it in modeling or acting, it would be this: stay true to yourself, no matter what. Don’t try to be someone you’re not or pretend to have interests you don’t actually have. And of course, keep working hard! Give your best every time you step onto a set or into a casting room. Don’t hold yourself back, don’t get discouraged, and don’t compare yourself to others. Just focus on being the best version of yourself and putting your whole heart into every opportunity that comes your way. That’s the key.
