Months after he won praise for his act in the critically-acclaimed web series Hawa Badle Hasu, Chandan Roy Sanyal has grabbed eyeballs as a physically challenged crime overlord in the second instalment of Kaali.

Admitting that the part may seem "boring" at a glance, the actor says it was the character-s mental strength that drew him in. "My character, Swapan, is paralysed and is in a wheelchair throughout [the series]. I had to shoot all my scenes sitting on the chair, which made it difficult," he explains. The bilingual featuring Paoli Dam beautifully explores Kolkata through the journey of the protagonist. "We-ve often seen underworld stories from Mumbai. This one is set in Kolkata for a change," he adds.
