The process of prepping for a character is different for every actor. While some engage in workshops, a few prefer gaining insight from conversations. Manjari Fadnnis, who is set to appear in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Freelancer, has the habit of writing the biographies of her characters. “It’s just for myself. [I write details] from the time my character was born, including her sun sign, family background, dreams as a child, her inner world, and little moments in her growing-up years that would become emotional triggers in the present,” she says, adding that she uses those moments as flashbacks in her mind to emotionally prompt the performance.
