The reason behind the same is that the character from its own point of view is very honest and that honesty needed to reflect in Gagan’s performance because for Abdul, he himself is a hero.
Gagan told IANS: “I’m sure jab unhone bhi start kiya hoga toh wo villain nahi the, unki family ko kya kya nahi mila ya kya dukh dard jhele unhone. Wo toh baad mein jaake wo economical system ke liye problem ban gaye. Why he deceived the system, I also wanted to understand this. Hence, I stuck to the script and positioned this character in my mind as Robinhood.”
‘Scam 2003‘ is set to stream on Sony LIV from September 1. The show has been directed by Hansal Mehta.
