On bagging a role that is so close to his heart the actor went an extra mile to prepare himself. Pranay said, “I took inspiration from one of my all-time favourite movie characters- #RobinWilliams who played the character of a progressive teacher in #DeadPoetsSociety. It is a cult film and I have lost count of how many times I must have watched it. I know these are huge names that I’m taking, but even if I manage to perform one percent of what he came up with I would be grateful. Other than this I drew inspiration from a certain professor, I hope he watches the series”.

He added, “What piqued my interest in physics, astronomy and quantum mechanics are interesting videos by #CarlSagan, #NeildeGrassTyson&ProfessorMichioKaku. I got hooked onto these videos and I kept watching them whenever I managed to find time. They have such intriguing and interesting ways of teaching that I picked up notes from them on how to make science sound interesting. This was somewhere etched in my memory and I got to apply and practise that in my character for Crash Course. Also, I have to thank my teachers who helped me gain my confidence in subjects I used to flunk in and I picked up from their inherent empathy to help students. So yes, I drew from multiple sources to build #AshutoshKumar. In a way for me this role is a tribute to my teachers”.

Apart from Crash Course, #Pranay will be next seen in Hotstar’s revenge-based thriller ‘#Karamyuddh.’
