Chandan Roy Sanyal Learns To Ride An Auto-Rickshaw For Hawa Badle Hassu
Hawa Badle Hassu is the environmental sci- fi web series featuring Chandan Roy Sanyal in the lead role. The web-series is majorly shot inside the rickshaw. Chandan had to learn how to ride a rickshaw in merely two hours to get in the character of Hassu. The actor blocked time with a rickshaw driver and drove around Versova in the wee hours to get his act on the three-wheeler right.
Hassu is a do gooder rickshaw driver who has immense love for the environment and wants to fight air pollution. He interacts with his passengers and educates them on air pollution while talking about day to day life and their problems. Hassu is an agent of change and in his own little way he contributes by using CNG fuel and turning his rickshaw into an eco friendly zone.
This was a sure shot challenging role for the actor. Not only did he have to learn riding a rickshaw within a couple of hours but had to do most of his scenes while riding the rickshaw around as 70 percent of the series was filmed inside the rickshaw.
Hawa Badle Hassu starts as a slice of life story and genre with a promise for more in season 2. The series is slated to be launched on Sony Liv soon.
