Emraan Hashmi on the last leg of Bard of Blood

EMRAAN HASHMI WILL shoot the final schedule of his maiden digital show Bard of Blood in Rajasthan.

“Rajasthan bound. Sunday morning flights are like why oh why. Gearing for the last schedule of Bard of Blood,” Hashmi wrote on Instagram along with a photograph clicked before he took a flight.

The Netflix show Bard of Blood is an adaptation of author Bilal Siddiqi’s The Bard Of Blood.

Set against the backdrop of the Indian subcontinent, the multilingual series will tell the story of an expelled spy Kabir Anand, who is recalled from his new life as a Shakespeare professor in Panchgani to save his country and long lost love.

On making his debut in the web world, Hashmi had said in an earlier interview: “It’s different. Through a web show, we are not only pitching the content to the Indian audience, but to audiences in over 180 different countries. Web shows can’t be only Indianised versions... A fair balance should be maintained in terms of performances and content.”

While he is confident the show will be “interesting”, Emraan says he has his fingers crossed.

“I am sure our audience will like it and I hope the international audience like it too.”
