\"TahirTahir Raj Bhasin is making his mark in Indian entertainment with diverse roles. He reflects on his experiences in ‘Mardaani’, ‘Chhichhore’, and ‘Special Ops’. Bhasin shares insights on working with Neeraj Pandey and never meeting Kay Kay Menon until promotions. He appreciates the success of ‘Chhichhore’ and newcomers in the industry. In the ever-evolving landscape of Indian entertainment, Tahir Raj Bhasin<\/a> has carved out a unique space for himself\u2014effortlessly moving between intense thrillers, emotional dramas, and sharply etched grey characters. Whether it\u2019s his breakout role in Mardaani, the brooding rebel in Chhichhore, or his latest turn in the mytho-tech thriller Special Ops, Bhasin\u2019s trajectory reflects a sharp eye for narrative and a hunger for layered characters.In Neeraj Pandey\u2019s Special Ops Season 2 he played the role of Sudheer who wants to unsettle the financial stability of India. Though the show has big names like Kay Kay Menon and Prakash Raj<\/a> part of the show, Tahir\u2019s character hardly has any scenes with them which was part of his character\u2019s aura. Talking about his role he says , \u201c My character is a bit of a puppet master, so he is in isolation. \u201c Turns out that Neeraj Pandey was his closest co-star. Talking about him Tahir says , \u201c He\u2019s a great co-star just because he’s so well-prepared\u2026 There’s so much precision because he writes himself as well. So, he’s very particular. If the pauses are here, then this is how you should do it.He’s a man of very few words, which can be intimidating to begin with. But in a few days, you realize that you learn to sort of read between the lines.And when I spoke to other actors who’d done season one with him, ( said that if he’s not saying anything means he likes what you’re doing. So, I was a lot more confident working with him then. \u201dInterestingly, Bhasin never met co-star Kay Kay Menon on set. \u201cIt was an intentional choice not to meet KK Menon before the show started. I thought it would be more interesting to shoot without having met him because that goes more with the collector. He’s never met him.\u201d Their first meeting happened only during promotions. \u201cMeeting him was like meeting a college senior\u2026 someone who’s just seen all the things that you’re going to experience already.\u201dOne of the major successes of Tahir\u2019s career has been Chhichhore, where he played the role of college senior Derek. THe film also starred Sushant Singh Rajput<\/a> and Shraddha Kapoor<\/a> in the lead. Talking about the film he said , \u201c Derek was cool, and he was a stud at the same time, sporty\u2026 everything an actor could ask for. Also there are rare examples of a film that gets box office success, critical acclaim and a national award and Chhichhore got all of it.Sayaara which has become the flavour of the country recently zoomed past Chhichhore\u2019s numbers at the box office. Talking about the success by newcomers like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, he said , \u201c \u201cIt\u2019s been a while since small romantic film, hit the box office\u2026 and to have newcomers who are from outside of the industry sort of navigating this wave is just simply amazing.\u201dBut what about the recurring perception of him playing roles that echo Mardaani? \u201cIt\u2019s actually been 10 years between Mardani and Special ops 2. And what I’ve had is the benefit of working with a lot of great directors like Kabir Khan<\/a> in 83 to Nitesh Tiwari in Chhichore to Nandita Das in Manto. So the idea has always been to like create a mold and then break it. But one thing that always sticks with anyone in the creative pursuits is what you debut with and when you do it well.I\u2019m very proud of Mardaani and now the thor part of film is being made, I never thought a film that I started off with would turn into a franchise. Iit takes a certain skill to play protagonist and antagonist , what my takeaway from the industry has been the ability to do a a romantic drama and an all-out thriller with the same amount of ease. (10:28) What I haven’t done yet is an all-out comedy, which would be great. Up next, he steps into the world of mystery with a Netflix series starring Parineeti Chopra<\/a>, directed by Rensil D\u2019Silva. \u201cIt\u2019s a show\u2026 and again, that’s a genre that I haven’t been a part of.\u201dHe also has the third season of Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein in the pipeline. Disruptive, deliberate, and deeply self-aware\u2014Tahir Raj Bhasin continues to walk his path, one carefully chosen part at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tahir Raj Bhasin is making his mark in Indian entertainment with diverse roles.
