Cast Notes - (Completed by Risha Jethwa)




Character: Tony Blake played by Raj Dharma (antagonist)
Age: Middle Age 40s
Sex: Male
Role: Tony Blake, the main character of ‘A Justified Revenge’ is portrayed as the religious man who has strong beliefs and commitment towards god. He is also a well-known man in his neighborhood and respected by many members. But things go wrong as the real side slowly reveals and the true colours spill out. Tony Blake is a serial killer! We chose Raj for the main character as we thought that he was the right person for the part as he was able to show emotions that fitted the characters role like anger and was able to create suspense through his facial expressions and body language.







Character: Victim played by Risha Jethwa (protagonist)
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Role: The victim is shown as a young, innocent, naive girl who is unaware of the surroundings and the people around her. In the eyes of Tony Blake, she has sinned. This makes her Tony victim as he acts as if he has strong beliefs. A female was chosen to play the part of the victim as it goes with the stereotype of women being weak, passive and submissive. Risha was chosen, as she was able to able to play the role of someone being weak and defenseless towards the actions of the main character.


These were the two characters that were used in our two - minute sequence. At first we chose a number of people to play the parts of the antagonist and the protagonist however at the end we, as a group thought that these two characters were able to play the roles as to how we wanted.
