Aditya Rawal is earning unanimous praise for his chilling turn as Sajid, a drug-addicted serial killer, in Daldal. The Amazon Prime Video investigative thriller, created by Suresh Triveni and directed by Amrit Raj Gupta, also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Samara Tijori, and stands apart for probing the why behind serial killings rather than merely revealing the who.

The actor admits that from the moment he came on board, he knew Sajid would demand extensive preparation and emotional responsibility. Understanding the mind of an addict Rawal reveals that even before he began his personal research, director Amrit Raj Gupta had already initiated discussions with a psych...

Surely the gig isn’t over yet. Story continues b...

Reflecting on the reception, Tijori admits the response has been profound: “It is overwhelming; my heart is full,” she notes with evident gratitude. Samara Tijori chopped her hair for the part Samara, who wanted to pursue criminology, thinks she subconsciously manifested getting the part. Her dedication knew no bounds. She chopped her hair for real. Ask her why, and she explains, “When I went in for the look test, we tried a wig. I remember being like, ‘This is not really making...
