Ravi Kissan was scared of Kamal Haasan

Ravi Kissan, who has come in for lavish praise for his portrayal of the serial killer in Soham Shah���s Luck, says his next two releases Soham Shah���s Luck and Mani Ratnam���s Raavan have taken out the Bhojpuri-actor tag from his career.
Not that he is giving up Bhojpuri films. ���But I���m finally getting the kind of roles in Hindi cinema that I���ve waited for,��� Ravi said before heading to Kerala for the last schedule of Ratnam���s film.
���It���s the climax of Raavan and I love climaxes.We���re all looking forward to it. Abhishek, who plays my younger brother has really become like my brother. I play this guy who can kill for my bhai."
For his role in Luck and Raavan, Ravi lost 15 kgs. ���Bhojpuri films require their men and women to look healthier than normal. I had to lose all those kilos for my return to Hindi films. But the effort has paid off.���
When Ravi Kissan got to know that Kamal Haasan had watched his daughter���s debut film Luck he was petrified.
In the film, Ravi���s character is shown to be pushing his unwanted attentions on Shruti Haasan constantly.
Says Ravi, ���I���m quite an animal in Luck. And I mean that literally.I���ve taken cues for my character���s behaviour from jungle animals including hyenas, tigers, panthers...I behave like a creature from the wilderness. On top of that I���m supposed to be violently in love with Shruti. I���m a complete psycho.���
Ravi was scared of how Shruti���s father would react.
���Lekin jaan mein jaan ayee when he praised me for my performance. Coming from one of the legends of our industry it was a relief. I feel I���ve graduated from regional to national cinema.���
Not that Ravi Kissan is giving up Bhojpuri films, God forbid!
���I���ll be doing five Bhojpuri films per year. Out of these two will be my home production.���
