Swara preps with psychologist
For her upcoming film, the actress will work with a psychologist to understand the psyche of a serial killer
At a time when the audience is aware and well-read, it becomes all the more important to take necessary steps in getting the portrayal right — Swara
Good actors always go the extra mile when working on projects that require a deeper understanding of their role. The same holds true for actress Swara Bhasker who’s decided to put in extra work for her next, a murder mystery by Gagan Puri, titled Mimamsa. The actress will be seen playing the role of an investigating officer called Adhira Dixit. To better emote her role in the murder mystery in which she chases a serial killer, Swara has decided to talk to a psychologist to understand the mental and psychological makeup of a serial killer. “I feel it’s extremely important to understand your role and get things right while dealing with such topics. At a time when the audience is extremely aware and well-read, it becomes all the more important for the actors and those making content to take necessary steps in getting the portrayal right on the screen. Hence, as someone who belongs to the creative field, along with the creative freedom, we also wanted to get things right,” elaborates Swara. The actress had earlier played a cop in the web series Flesh and in her quest to better understand her role, she had met several cops back then. When I prepared for the role of Radha, I interacted with a lot of cops — both male and female IPS officers. The idea was to also understand their mind set while dealing with criminals, as also the department and the system,” she says of the series, which will be helmed by Danish Aslam.
