Pranay Pachauri on Crash Course: Took inspiration from one of my all-time favourites, Robin Williams

Pranay Pachauri , who was recently seen in Amazon Prime’s legal drama Guilty Minds, will now be seen on the platform with yet another Drama series named  Crash Course . The story revolves around two coaching institutes of Kota, in which he is playing the role of a Physics Professor. Talking about his role, Pranay said, “This role is extremely close to my heart because I am a nerd and I share the same love for physics and science as my character.” 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- Robin Williams who played the character of a progressive teacher in Dead Poets Society. 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 Carl Sagan, Neil deGrass Tyson & Professor Michio Kaku. 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 Ashutosh Kumar. 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.
