Vidrohi is perhaps the most anticipated show of current times. Actor Sharad Malhotra will be essaying the lead role of Baxi Jagabandhu who was a freedom fighter whose story has not been told enough.
Sharad is super excited about his role and talks about it in a recent interview. He says, “It’s a monumental character. When the character has huge potential, automatically the job of the actor becomes a huge responsibility. An actor is always greedy for good content and a show like ‘Vidrohi’ doesn’t happen every day. But what drew me towards the story was the selflessness of the character Baxi Jagabandhu and I wanted the nation to know about this legendary hero from the lands of Orissa.”
He further adds, ”It is very exciting to be in a period drama like Vidrohi. Such a show has its own challenges; one must work hard to ensure that you don’t just embrace the character you are playing, you also have to understand the smaller nuances of the period to deliver an authentic experience. I feel honored to be a part of this show. I am super excited to play this character onscreen since my role has a lot of variations. Above all, I’m glad to be back on the sets and shooting in this new normal. I hope viewers and fans continue to shower their love and appreciation as I embark on a new journey.”
Along with Sharad, Vidrohi features a stunning star cast including actors like Sulagna Panigrahi, Anang Desai, Chaitrali Gupte, Priya Tandon, Danny Sura among others.
