The series is an eight-episode show based on Vikram Chandra’s book ti tled similarly. It is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap.
When asked about his experience in acting for the series, he said, “The script was written with a lot of details and because the story told in eight episodes, which means an eight-hour show… As an actor, I got a chance to go close to the character. It has a much-nuanced portrayal on-screen. It has not only given me a chance to go deeper into the character but also explore the possibility to work on a scene better.”
The actor has explored the digital space earlier with a few short films like In Defence of Freedom and Carbon. He believes the production quality of Netflix is higher and he loves that. “Since the digital platform is quite open to people these days, many are coming in the business and making shows. Some of them are good, and some are sub-standard. But Netflix has maintained quality. As we all know, the level is of international quality and it caters to the global audience. So when we are acting, we know that we have to bring our best game on the table.”
