Actress Drashti Dhami reveals the reason she chose to act in Duranga: 'I was playing a new character...'

Actress Drashti Dhami is currently gearing up for her upcoming show Duranga where she stars alongside one Gulshan Devaiah.

The actress recently revealed the reason behind saying yes to the show, which is an official adaption of the Korean show, Flower of Evil.

Commenting on the same, she said in a statement, "What excited me the most to take up Duranga was that I was playing a new character, I was playing a cop. Pradeep dada (Pradip Sarkar, the co-director) was going to be directing us which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I could get and of course, the concept of the show was really nice and for the first time we're having a Korean adaptation and I'm a part of it, so all the ticks were a yes."

She also spoke about her preparations for the part as she mentioned, "I tried to get fitter, we had underwater sequences where we had to do a couple of workshops to learn how to stay underwater, to breathe underwater."

The role demanded a certain level of attention to detail with regard to the body language, as the actress further said, "I had to work on my body language, I have a cousin who works in the army. So, when he came down, I met him, and I learned how to hold a gun and it was fun to do all the preparations."

Duranga will be available to stream on OTT platform ZEE5 from August 19.
