The actor, who’s taking part in an antagonist for the third time — after Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon and Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na — says the complexity of the function was too compelling to go up. “I don’t give attention to whether or not a task is the protagonist or antagonist, so long as I’m taking part in character. This might be the third time I’m taking part in an antagonist. I needed to do one thing completely different and it [was possible here because] it has lots of layers,” he says.

In the case of depicting historic figures, authenticity and accountability go hand in hand. “As an actor, since we’re being given detailed and well-researched scripts, we don’t actually should suppose a lot about it. We get the fundamental nuances from the script, and the bodily coaching is the one facet we have to take care off. There isn’t a visible document of it, however the character isn’t fictional, so you continue to should be accountable whereas taking part in it.” Rekhi underwent a month-long workshop to nail the Urdu dialect, stroll, and physique language of Ghori. “There are work and written materials on him, however the makers took artistic liberty in costumes, dialogues, and his mannerisms. Since we needed to maintain it a bit less complicated for the viewers to know, there’s much less Kabuli within the dialect. Initially, we used the Kabuli accent, nevertheless it sounded too caricaturish.” Whereas he did learn up on the historic background, he was cautious to not let conflicting narratives intrude along with his efficiency. “Sure, I did, however each historic character written by a historian could have a special perspective. I began studying after which I finished as a result of it
confuses you. I didn’t need that battle to occur on set. So it’s necessary to stay to the script.”
Whereas he’s conscious that tv is doing effectively, Rekhi believes authentic content material is the way in which ahead. “I really feel we should always do extra authentic reveals, in order that it turns into distinctive for the viewers to look at fairly than it being repetitive.”
