Shehzad
Shaikh’s
latest
web
series
Anamika
has
premiered
today
(March
10)
on
MX
Player.
The
actor
plays
the
role
of
Rohan,
who
is
madly
in
love
with
Anamika
(Sunny
Leone)
who
he
knew
once
by
the
name
of
Mahi.
Directed
by
Vikram
Bhatt,
the
spy
thriller
has
been
generating
a
lot
of
buzz
amongst
the
masses.
Recently,
Shehzad
Shaikh
had
a
candid
chat
with
Filmibeat,
in
which
she
spoke
about
working
on
the
show,
sharing
screen
space
with
Sunny
Leone
and
much
more.
Here
are
excerpts
from
the
interview.
What
made
you
say
yes
to
working
in
Anamika?
The
opportunity
to
work
with
Vikram
Bhatt
and
Loneranger
Productions
was
an
immediate
factor
for
me,
it’s
a
no
brainer.
The
minute
I
got
the
opportunity,
I
didn’t
think
twice
about
it.
I
said
yes
sir
please,
if
you
would
have
me,
I
am
ready
let’s
go.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
Sunny
Leone
and
Vikram
Bhatt
on
the
project?
It
was
actually
an
absolute
pleasure
to
work
with
them.
It
was
by
far
one
of
the
most
comfortable
and
smooth
shoots
that
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
work
on.
Sunny
being
who
she
is,
so
fantastic
that
I
didn’t
even
feel
till
the
end
that
I
was
working
with
The
Sunny
Leone.
She
makes
the
entire
environment
around
her
so
relaxed,
so
good,
so
cool
that
for
any
actor
if
it’s
a
first
time,
you
will
immediately
feel
like
part
of
the
family.
I
literally
felt
at
home
working
with
them.
It
was
by
far
one
of
the
most
professional
shoots
I
have
ever
been
at
and
the
environment
was
amazing.
Vikram
sir
is
just
a
visionary.
I
felt
like
I
got
to
grow
so
much
by
just
working
with
him
on
this
project.
What
can
you
tell
us
about
your
character
and
how
did
you
go
about
preparing
for
the
role?
So,
the
character’s
name
is
Rohan.
He’s
someone
who
fell
in
love
with
a
woman
and
then
she
disappeared
from
his
life
and
3
years
later,
after
he
has
forgotten
his
long-lost
lover,
she
shows
up
into
his
life
again
and
he
finds
a
way
to
go
looking
for
her.
It’s
a
journey
of
a
completely
normal
person
put
into
a
completely
different
world.
To
play
the
character,
I
had
a
lot
of
things
that
I
wanted
to
do
for
my
prep.
But
Vikram
sir
did
not
let
me
do
anything.
He
literally
directed
me
through
and
through
and
I
thought
I
would
have
had
to
do
so
much
but
sir
is
an
amazing
director
and
Sunny’s
such
a
good
co-star
that
it
just
flew
by
and
I
am
so
happy.
What
is
the
key
difference
you
find
between
working
on
TV
and
the
OTT
platforms
and
which
one
do
you
enjoy
doing
more?
As
an
actor,
I
love
working
and
if
I
could
wake
up
and
go
and
act
anywhere,
I
literally
would
do
that.
But
if
you
ask
me
the
difference
between
television
and
OTT,
I
really
enjoy
the
OTT
environment
of
working.
It
is
comfortable,
it
brings
out
your
creativity,
it
gives
you
time,
there’s
planning.
It
is
like
creating
a
piece
of
art
when
you
are
working
on
the
OTT
platform
and
when
you
are
doing
television,
you
are
creating
art
but
it’s
always
a
situation
where
its
rushed,
because
in
TV,
you
are
required
to
play
22
minutes
in
a
day
or
two
days.
Whereas
with
OTT
you
have
time,
you
have
space,
you
have
comfort.
So,
preferably
I
am
sure
any
and
every
actor
would
just
love
to
do
OTT
and
films.
But
I
have
been
doing
television
for
a
long
time
so
I
am
comfortable
working
on
all
mediums.
How
do
you
keep
yourself
motivated
between
projects,
especially
when
you
are
seeking
a
specific
kind
of
role
but
it
is
not
coming
your
way
for
one
reason
or
another?
I
always
believe
that
if
you
keep
working,
the
right
project
will
come
to
you.
So
just
keep
working,
which
is
a
policy
that
I
have
been
following
for
so
long.
I
don’t
think
I
have
taken
a
break
from
acting
since
2018
and
I
don’t
plan
on
doing
so
anytime
soon
either.
Surprisingly,
Alhumdulilla,
sir
(Vikram)
came
to
me
with
MX
Player’s
Anamika
and
it
is
something
I
believe
everyone
should
watch
on
the
10th
(March)
when
it
comes
out.
Yeah,
but
that
entire
journey
of
you
know
these
projects,
is
a
drive
by
itself.
You
keep
yourself
motivated
by
working.
That’s
my
policy
and
so
far,
it’s
worked
and
hopefully,
I
get
more
projects
like
that.
Lastly,
can
you
tell
us
something
about
your
upcoming
projects?
I
am
really
blessed
right
now
to
have
a
lot
of
work.
I
am
currently
also
doing
a
television
show
(Sindoor
Ki
Keemat
on
Dangal
TV)
which
I
am
shooting
on
a
daily
basis.
Plus,
Anamika
is
completed
and
I
have
just
signed
my
second
project
with
Loneranger
Productions
and
hopefully,
you
should
hear
about
it
soon
and
hopefully,
you
should
see
a
lot
more.
