J.D. Chakravarthy, who is well-known for his work in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada films, gives a brief explanation of his involvement in the OTT series “Taaza Khabar” and the factors that led him to select the particular task.
He stated: “I have played lots of characters with lots of shades in my journey but never played anything like this character. So, I quickly grabbed the role which I was sure would be an interesting pitch to the already very intriguing and arresting story of ‘Taaza Khabar’. You cannot call him an antagonist either.”
The actor further spoke about his role in the series: “He has an objective in his life, he is hardworking, very observant, and also sensibly romantic. So, these features do make him an intelligent crook from his adversary’s perspective rather than an antagonist. For example, he is very rude to the protagonist at some junctures but he understands the pain of Shriya’s character so well that he never hurts or even offends her.”
JD also made the humorous remark that his co-star and producer Bhuvan Bam must be missing from the web series because of his role. The series will debut on OTT on January 6. Produced by Rohit Raj and Bhuvan Bam, directed by Himank Gaur and written by the duo Hussain and Abbas Dalal.
The actor who is 52, began his career with the Telugu film “Siva” and went on to appear in a number of other films, including “Neti Siddhartha,” “Satya,” “Vastu Shastra,” “Bhoot Returns,” and many others.
