Shweta Tiwari uses a 3 kilo double barrel rifle in Begusarai

It’s time for real explosion and high drama in &TV’s Begusarai. In one of the most high octane episodes of the show, actress Shweta Tiwari who is seen as Bindiya will be seen putting an end to Daddaji’s (Sudesh Berry) injustice and torture.

After Bindiya was tormented by Daddaji and paraded naked in the village after a verdict in the Khap Panchayat, Bindiya has returned to seek revenge from him. So the hunter will be the hunted and Bindiya will be shooting Daddaji dead with a rifle! It’s not just seeing a rifle-wielding Shweta that will be an exciting sight but what has gone into shooting the episode. Adding to the drama was the fact that Shweta shot with a double barrel rifle. But that’s not all! What’s more, the rifle used during the dummy shoot weighed 1.2 kilos and the double barrel rifle was a whopping 3 kilos!

The episode was shot over two days with approximately 60 to 70 junior artistes. The sequence will be ending on a high note with Shweta quoting from the Bhagwad Geeta that she has cleansed the earth by killing a demon.

Funnily, Shweta and Sudesh Berry both share a very close bond as they have worked together in the past and know each other quite well. Shweta says about the sequence, “Shooting with such a heavy rifle was very strenuous, also because the sequence was so demanding and elaborate. But, at the end of it all it was totally worth it. It’s one of the best tracks I have ever done. I could have never imagined a role like this where I will have to fire bullets and guns which was quite thrilling.”
