Sushmita Sen talks about shooting Aarya 2 in midst of pandemic
Created by award-winning director Ram Madhvani, Aarya 2 brings to light Aarya Sareen’s journey from being powerless to fearless. After emerging as one of the most gripping thrillers from India with an International Emmy nomination for best drama series, Aarya is set to hit the digital scene with Season 2. What makes it one of the most anticipated OTT series is that its trailer is rife with surprising twists, starring Sushmita Sen in the role of an unwilling outlaw.
Ahead of the release of the second instalment of Aarya, Sushmita opened up on her experience of shooting for the show in the midst of a pandemic. She shared, “We’ve become lockdown specialists now! We either release during a lockdown or shoot during it, that’s our new thing! When we completed the shoot for Aarya 2, on our farewell, we said how blessed we were to be working during the pandemic. There were so many people who had to sit at home, but this is also a nice culmination of teamwork. We had Disney+Hotstar, Ram Madhvani film, the entire crew and the cast together. Everyone just pulled in following the rules and making it possible.”
Sushmita further added added,”My God! The very definition of a bubble is now etched in my mind forever. For any crew member to work in a PPE kit, covered from head to toe for 10 hrs a day is seriously tough! And the constant tests, making sure we lived away from our family, the quarantine for 7-10 days before starting to work, all these measures initially seemed difficult. But in the bigger picture, we were full of gratitude to be working at such a time and being able to create something that you love. I mean Aarya season 2 is a big leap from the first season!”
The second season hits the streaming platform on December 10. Are you excited?
