Drashti Dhami’s acting approach: Embraces the zone, trusts director’s guidance

Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) Actress Drashti Dhami, who will be seen reprising her role in the season 2 of the crime thriller series ‘Duranga’, has opened up on the emotional journey of her character, and shared how she gets into the zone, and listens to her director while doing any scene.

‘Duranga’ is an official adaptation of the Korean show, ‘Flower of Evil’. New mysteries brew and come to light as the characters of Gulshan Devaiah and Amit Sadh are engaged in an epic showdown to reclaim their identities in the new season.

Talking about season two, Drashti said: “Season 2 has a lot of twists and turns, complex emotions; it’s darker and scarier. The series is shot well and there is a lot of fun coming up in season 2.”

On her character’s graph, the ‘Dill Mill Gayye’ fame actress said: “I don’t really think much while doing any scene, I just get into the zone, and just listen to the director.”

“Also, what happens is when you do season 1 and season 2, you are invested in the character emotionally. It’s just like you keep reading and keep going with the flow and that’s how the journey goes,” she shared.

If there was an added pressure to do well in season two, Drashti said: “Not really, I didn’t take any pressure for season 2, but yes, it was just more fun and easier to shoot because we just knew everyone.”

“And when Rohan Sippy sir, the director came on board it was amazing to work with him. I don’t think any of us took any pressure to perform better for season 2, it just happened very organically,” she added.

The second season of the show will see the return of Gulshan, Drashti Dhami, Amit Sadh, Barkha Sen Gupta, Rajesh Khattar reprising their respective roles.

Spanning across eight episodes, ‘Duranga S2’ will premiere on October 24 on ZEE5.
