Actor Karan Tacker is garnering praise for his performance in the recently released show Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery. He recalled an unusual and unsettling experience while filming the series.
A Strange Incident on Set
Sharing exclusive details, Karan stated, “We were shooting this one scene between me and a character whose name is Niharika, and at any given time, we have two cameras.”
He elaborated on the setup: “So I was wearing my close shot, and there was a camera kept at one corner that was shut.” Karan admitted feeling an uneasy sensation during the filming.
Describing the technical aspects, he noted, “There was a camera at one corner and another camera that was recording my close-up from another angle. Now, like for any camera, you obviously have to press a button to record it.”
An Unexpected Footage
Creating an intense atmosphere around the moment, Karan revealed, “But the camera which was shut actually recorded the whole scene.”
What made the incident even more unsettling was the unique angle of the shot. Karan explained, “It recorded the whole scene from a very interesting, weird Dutch angle.”
He described the footage, saying, “So it recorded this whole very dramatic close-up of me from down below, depicting a scene where I am basically trying to narrate a heavy story of Niharika, but I am not able to do it.”
In reflecting on the experience, he concluded, “It was so weird that it shot like a proper, well-blocked close-up in a Dutch way, when in reality no one turned on the camera.”
