Gurmeet Choudhary's series 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen 2' has recently been released on the OTT platform Netflix. This series is being liked a lot. During a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Gurmeet Chaudhary shared some things related to this series.
How did you get involved in the series? The first season of this series has been quite popular on Netflix. Everyone knows about this season. When I got the offer for this, I knew that it was a very big franchise. Its director has prepared a big universe. When I met director Siddharth sir, he told me the story. I was very excited when I read the script, because it had both action and romance. I initially thought that I would read one or two episodes first and read the rest later, but I read the entire episode by 3 to 4 am that same night. The same night I called Siddharth sir and started preparing for it the next day.
How did you prepare for the character? For this character, it was most important to be physically fit. I was fit, always have been, but then I started training more. For this a lot of action practice had to be done. Along with this, attention was also paid to swimming. Also took workshops. I had very long hair so I cut it short. My character's name is also Guru so it had to sound like that.
Where was it shot and for how many days? We have shot this series in London, Manali and Mumbai. The introduction scene of my character was shot in London. For this I shot for 35 to 40 days.
How was the experience of working in it? Was an outstanding experience. Got a chance to work with Tahir, Shwet, Arun Uday, Saurabh Shukla ji. This series is quite a thriller, it has a lot of action and drama. There was an intense atmosphere on the set. He was also good at doing stunts.
How do you view social media? If used properly, social media is a very good platform. I post it and the director and producer see it and my work starts from there. Because my videos went viral, I got back to back OTT projects this year.
According to you, how has OTT grown? I have not worked in OTT before. I used to do TV and came to films from TV. It was always in my mind to be in front of as much audience as possible and in today's time, we all are on OTT. Everyone watches and likes content on OTT.
