India, July 17 -- Actor Prateik Chaudhary calls Lucknow his favourite work destination. He finds the city very peaceful, which allows him to work with full focus. "Shooting in Lucknow for my first film has been simply overwhelming," shares Prateik, who after his last television daily, Tose Naina Milaike (2024), wanted to start another show when the offer came as a surprise. "It came out of syllabus but made me extremely happy." Having played lead roles in shows like Sindoor Ki Keemat (2023), and Paramavatar Shri Krishna (2017), Prateik was in Lucknow to shoot for the digital film Band, Baaja and Murder. "The film is a drama-thriller based on honour killing, which is, of course, a topic of concern," he explains. The shoot was a start-to-finish schedule with locations in and around Lucknow, especially in the suburbs. Prateik believes,"The city's peaceful environment helped him perform to his best capability, and this will reflect on screen when the film is released." Prateik is also set to appear in a new series. He describes it as a "micro drama show" where Korean dramas are adapted with Indian stories and characters. "The Elite is ready to be out, and as the film is in its post-production," he states. During his visit to Lucknow, Prateik also fulfilled his dream of visiting the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya with his co-stars Sanjay Gangnani, Nishi Yadav, and Swati Sharma. "It was like a dream come true to be at the Ram Temple finally," he says. He describes the experience as "out of this world," especially standing before the "towering and majestic Ram Lalla idol."...
