Mumbai, (UNI) The road to power, a heart-warming friendship and the charm of the 60s, Disney+ Hostar’s upcoming power-packed series, Sultan of Delhi has it all.
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.
Reimagining the charm of old India and creating a visual spectacle on-screen, Milan Luthria marks his OTT directorial debut with this larger than life mass entertainer, ‘Sultan of Delhi” which is all set to release on October 13, according to a media release.
The series stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anjumm Shharma, veteran actor Vinay Pathak alongside Nishant Dahiya and the ladies Anupriya Goenka, Mouni Roy, Harleen Sethi and Mehreen Pirzada, making for a perfect ensemble cast.
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. Tahir Raj Bhasin shares how he lived the character before the shooting began for Sultan of Delhi.
Talking about the same, Tahir Raj Bhasin said, “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. 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.”
