Shohum Shah on how he landed a role in Dahaad

Speaking to a leading wire agency, the actor recently revealed how he landed the role of the cop in Dahaad, for which he has become the talk of the town once again.

The actor, who had previously played a CBI officer in the Irrfan Khan-starrer Talvar, was keen on playing a man in uniform and urged Reema Kagti, the director of Dahaad, to let him play a 'vardi waala' cop.

Sohum said, "I play a cop in this series. I had played a CBI cop in Talvar, but this time I asked Reema Kagti to make me a Vardi waala cop in the series... yaar is baar toh uniform pehanane ko mile (at least this timeI'll get to play a cop in uniform)!"

Talking about his character and how he developed it, he pointed out that being from the small town of Sri Ganganagar helped him prepare for the role.

He explained, "I think writing is a very difficult job. As actors, we rely on goodstories to enhance our performance. A well-written character allows you to deliver your best effort. We, actors, bring our personalities and life experiences to the characters we play. Fortunately, I am from a tiny town, which really aided my success in this series."

Sohum has an interesting and envious line-up ahead, which also includes his production venture, CrazXy.
