Actor Ravi Kishan believes that 'Maa Behen' has arrived at a crucial stage in Triptii Dimri's career. The actor recently spoke about his co-star's journey and said the film gave audiences an opportunity to see her beyond the perception that emerged after the massive success of 'Animal'.
Sharing his thoughts on the project's impact, Ravi expressed happiness that Triptii has been able to break away from a singular image and present a different facet of her acting abilities through the Netflix release. During a conversation with NDTV, Ravi Kishan discussed the reception of 'Maa Behen' and reflected on the performances delivered by both Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit.
Praising Triptii's role in the film, he said, “Thank God yeh film aai. Thank God Tripti Dimri ke jeevan mein yeh film aayi - 'Maa Behen' jisne unko apne 'Animal' wale swaroop se nikala bahar. (Thank God this film came. Thank God this film came into Tripti Dimri's life, which pulled her out of her image from 'Animal').
According to Ravi, the film serves as an important reminder of the actor's versatility and helps audiences look beyond the character that brought her widespread popularity.
Madhuri Dixit's performances deserve more attention, says Ravi Kishan
Ravi Kishan also used the opportunity to highlight Madhuri Dixit's contribution to Indian cinema. While acknowledging the enduring popularity of songs such as 'Dhak Dhak' and 'Choli', he pointed out that some of her finest acting performances often get overshadowed by the massive success of those chartbusters.
“Madhuri ma'am's name is so big. Songs like 'Dhak Dhak' and 'Choli' became so huge that her best performances got overshadowed. Thank God this film came along. It reminded audiences that she also did romantic films and that she has given so many different kinds of performances. This film has done a great job,” he said.
