In the following article, we will delve into the highly anticipated ‘Duranga Season 2.’ We’ll explore how Amit Sadh’s character in ‘Duranga 2’ pays homage to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic role in ‘Darr.’ Additionally, we’ll provide insights into the cast of the series and its critical reception.
Amit Sadh On Duranga Season 2 And Character Development
Actor Amit Sadh, who is eagerly awaiting the launch of the second season of the streaming series ‘Duranga,’ shared that the character he plays in the show pays homage to superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s role in the film ‘Darr.’ ‘Duranga’ is the Indian version of the well-known K-drama ‘Flower of Evil’ and is preparing for its much-anticipated second season.
In an interview with IANS, Amit discussed his character’s development, the challenges he encountered in portraying the role, his approach to it, and more.
Amit stated, “Rather than a conventional character evolution, my role involves a profound awakening. Sammit is a character cloaked in mystery and fascination. What drew me to the show was its exceptionally unique and enthralling storyline.”
Reflecting on the difficulties he faced while bringing the character to life, Amit shared, “The primary challenge lay in comprehending both the physical and emotional dimensions of the character.
It was essential to grasp the character’s emotions and intentions, unravel the intricate motivations, and delve into the complexities of his inner world. Subsequently, I needed to adapt the character’s body language to align with his emotional state, which was an intriguing aspect of the process.”
The actor, renowned for his work in ‘Sultan,’ added, “One particularly enjoyable aspect for me was deciphering the character’s body language, especially considering what it would be like for someone who had been in a coma for 14 years. I’ve never personally experienced a coma, so I had to imagine how his spine, muscles, and overall demeanor would be affected.
