During the shooting of ‘The Freelancer’ I could not sleep, I was scared: Kashmera Pardeshi
New Delhi (IANS). Kashmera Pardeshi, best known for her work in Tamil and Telugu films, will next be seen in Neeraj Pandey’s intriguing thriller series ‘The Freelancer’.
He talked about his preparation for the character and how it affected him. The Extraction series ‘The Freelancer’ directed by Mohit Raina will see Kashmera as the lead role Alia.
Kashmera said, “What happened to Alia didn’t happen to me, but there came a patch where we shot all the parts for a long time where Alia had to go through a lot of pain.”
“When I started repeating these feelings one after the other for a week or ten days on that schedule, it put me in an anxious state. There were nights where I couldn’t sleep, I would worry about little things. And I didn’t realize until much later that it was because I’d been in that situation for a while. But yes, I felt that way with Alia.”
The series is based on the book ‘A Ticket to Syria’ by Shirish Thorat. It is directed by Bhav Dhulia, produced by Friday Storytellers and produced by Neeraj Pandey. The book attempts to share the story about the deadly operations of the Islamic State and how the terrorist group carried out a cross-country operation.
‘The Freelancer’ is based on the rescue operation of a girl trapped in Syria during the occupation.
It stars veteran actor Anupam Kher along with Sushant Singh, John Kokken, Gauri Balaji and Navneet Malik, Manjiri Phadnis, Sarah Jane Dias and others.
The series will air on September 1 on Disney Plus Hotstar.
