Gautam Rode in State of Siege: Temple Attack
Gautam Rode, the blue-eyed boy of television, who forayed into digital entertainment with State of Siege: Temple Attack, has added another project to his kitty. The actor plays a cop in MXPlayer’s Nakaab, which also stars, Mallika Sherawat and Esha Gupta. “I have dabbled in almost everything, but this was new to me. Unlike films [or television], on the web, every character has depth,” says the actor.
Directed by Soumik Sen, the thriller revolves around the death of a television actor. Rode and Gupta’s cop characters are tasked with the murder investigation. Quiz him if the series is loosely inspired by the events of the past one-and-a-half years in the entertainment industry, and he is quick to respond, “It is a fictional story and has no resemblance to any person. The timing is [coincidental], because the script was written almost two-and-a-half years ago.”
