Although a lenient analysis will reveal that the action genre has found favour among web show-watchers, content creators know that novelty is still a key factor in making an OTT series, a success. Tasked with the job of creating yet another action venture, the makers of The Freelancer, we are told, decidedly worked towards creating sets that were de-glamorised.
Director Bhav Dhulia, of Rangbaaz and Khakee: The Bihar Chapter fame, says his priority while creating the backdrop of the show, set against the rule of ISIS, was to make it appear “as though one has simply dropped the camera in Syria”. “We didn’t want it to feel unlived-in. It was important for us to stay true to the story, which has been adapted from a book. Visually, there was no need to glamorise the show; we wanted to keep it rooted.”
