I Was Excited To Be Cast As An Indian: Broadway Actor Devika Bhise

The talented Indian-American actor Devika Bhise, is all excited to have worked with such a humbling cast in her latest flick, The Man Who Knew Infinity (2015). She has previously worked in several films and Broadway, however, she called her role to be quite challenging opposite actor Dev Patel. “I had to transform myself completely from a 21st century New Yorker to a Brahmin Iyengar girl from the early 20th century”, said Devika.

She continued, “The other hurdle was that Janaki’s life was quite tragic. So, the part of the story that revolves around her, was emotionally taxing”. Devika shared her experience while working with Dev Patel, “I used to spend a lot of time on the sets with Dev. He brings a great deal of spontaneity to his acting. I have seen his film, Slumdog Millionaire (2008), and he delivered a great performance in it”.

Devika praised her co-stars, calling Jeremy Irons ‘a gentleman of another calibre’. She went on and said Jeremy is full of humility, charm and grace. The gorgeous actress has also worked with Uma Thurman and Colin Firth in The Accidental Husband (2008).
