King Says Acting Debut in ‘Lukkhe’ Changed His Approach to Live Shows

MUMBAI — Singer-songwriter King says his acting debut in the streaming series “Lukkhe” has changed the way he thinks about performing at live concerts.

Ahead of the show’s premiere, King said acting taught him a new kind of discipline that has carried over into his stage performances.

“When you are performing at a live concert, there is no room for error. And in case a mistake happens, we need to act fast and rectify it while still entertaining the people witnessing the show live. It’s a very different ballgame altogether. But when you are acting, you get to solve and correct your mistakes 5-6 times in one shot, thanks to different camera angles,” King said.

The series also stars Raashii Khanna, Palak Tiwari, Lakshvir Singh Saran and Shivankit Singh Parihar in lead roles, with Nakul Roshan Sahdev, Yograj Singh and Ayesha Raza Mishra appearing in key roles.

King said the process of acting helped him better understand camera movement, positioning and choreography, all of which now influence how he performs on stage.

“Being a very imaginative person, I could understand and figure out the different angles, different takes, and the choreography I needed to perform for a shot to make it look natural and smooth. The practice and choreography I absorbed really helped me in live shows. In a live concert, when you are holding a mic and moving to certain places, it’s about how you move, where the cameras are placed, and how to make those transitions seamless. It’s all about practice and how you can make your show immersive, both live and digitally. I have rage when I am on stage, but this new learning has given me command on stage,” he said.

“Lukkhe” is produced by Vipul D. Shah and Rajesh Bahl under Optimystix Entertainment and White Guerrilla LLP. The series is directed by Himank Gaur and created and executive produced by Deobjit Das Purkayastha and Agrim Joshi.

The series is scheduled to stream on Prime Video starting May 8. (Source: IANS)
