Tahir plays the character of Arjun Bhatia in ‘Sultan of Delhi’. To prepare for a role, one must live the character and it gets challenging to do so especially when the backdrop of the show is from the past era.
Talking about the same, Tahir shared: “To start with I read the original book to get a sense of the overall story. To understand the political and economic state of the country at the time I watched a few documentaries that really put the state of Delhi after the partition in perspective.”
Tahir said: “After our costume trials were done I took the vintage jeans and boots so I could literally walk in the character’s shoes. I used old spice for weeks before the shoot because I associate its scent with vintage nostalgia.”
“I also had a playlist of classic rock from the 60’s and 70’s,” said the ‘Mardaani’ fame actor.
Based on the book, ‘Sultan of Delhi: Ascension’ by Arnab Ray, the series is produced by Reliance Entertainment and directed by Milan Luthria and co- directed and co-written by Suparn Verma.
The series stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anjumm Shharma, Vinay Pathak, Nishant, and the ladies Anupriya Goenka, Mouni Roy, Harleen Sethi and Mehreen Pirzada, making for a perfect ensemble cast.
‘Sultan Of Delhi’ is all set to release on October 13, on Disney+ Hotstar.
Meanwhile, Tahir was last seen in ‘83’ and ‘Looop Lapeta’. He also featured in web show ‘Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein’.
