You have been shooting a couple of interesting projects recently…
Currently I’m shooting for a series for Hotstar by Siddharth Sengupta. It’s a thriller where I play a cop and it's one of the most interesting scripts I’ve come across in the last couple of years. So I’m looking forward to it. Lionsgate Play’s series directed by Akarsh Khurana has me playing a rustic character from Haryana, so I had to keep the dialect in mind. The character was interesting because I had to be funny but unpredictable. He’s one character where you can’t be sure. You should laugh at all the things, he says, because suddenly he will do something scary. It’s an interestingly written grey part. In the beginning of the year, I shot Mrs Undercover with Radhika Apte, that’s an out an out negative part. The idea was to have a variety of roles rather than what I’ve already done.
