Rasika Dugal, who will be seen in two web series “Mirzapur”, “Delhi Police” and in a feature film titled “Hamid”, says the digital space has opened up a new world for actors.
Talking about it, Rasika said, “It has opened up a whole new chapter in our (actors) lives and I am so grateful for it. The format of a web show (or) the series concept is very interesting from a writing point of view. It has given a lot of writers opportunities to explore characters and plots.”
She adds that “the web welcomes content which is path breaking and really pushing boundaries”. “The kind of scripts I have read for web shows have been outstanding. I have had the opportunity to act in two — ‘Mirzapur’, which is a kind of role I have not done before and I am excited about that. It is totally different from ‘Manto’. So, from ‘Manto’ to ‘Mirzapur’ is one full transformation,” she added.
The actress is looking forward for the series “Delhi Police”, where she will be seen playing a police officer. “I have also done a web show called ‘Delhi Police’. It is about the investigation around the Nirbhaya case. It is also very path-breaking and interesting. So, this space has opened a whole new world for us and I hope it remains as free as it is right now,” she added.
In “Hamid”, she plays a widow and a mother to a young boy. The film is set against the backdrop of Kashmir.
