Following a spate of nuanced roles in 2019 - including his intricate portrayal of a police official in the Emmy-winning series Delhi Crime - actor Adil Hussain dabbles in the horror genre with Nirvana Inn, a paranormal drama that probes a disturbed and depressed mind.

Having usually essayed parts that have favoured the protagonist, Hussain says his first attempt at playing a guilt-ridden character was challenging and enthralling in equal measure. "When you play a light-hearted role, it is easy, because you are happy. But a film like this one is difficult. After acting for so many years, I had [to find] a way to [learn to] disconnect from the character," he says.
