"Ritiesh Deshmukh has been refusing to smile during the shooting of his latest film Rann as he wants to remain in character. The actor, who is best known for his comedic performances, said that he stayed &amp;quot;serious and angry&amp;quot; throughout the shoot, even when he wasn&amp;#039;t being filmed. &amp;quot;I had to put up the serious look to get into the skin of his character of Purab Shastri, an investigative journalist working for Vijay Harshvardhan Malik&amp;#039;s news channel,&amp;quot; Deshmukh told Express India. &amp;quot;Even when the camera was not rolling I would maintain the serious and angry expression and never smiled since the character was not meant to be jovial.&amp;quot; Rann also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Paresh Rawal, Gul Panag, Rajat Kapoor and Kannada actor Sudeep.
