Tahir Raj Bhasin just kicked off production on Vikram Phadnis' latest project alongside Saiyami Kher, and he's pumped about the challenge.
The Bollywood performer expressed gratitude for diving into work that forces him beyond familiar territory. He described feeling particularly blessed to participate in something departing from conventional storytelling while demanding fresh approaches to his performance abilities. This marks the designer-filmmaker's first Hindi directorial effort, which adds extra intrigue to the collaboration.
Bhasin emphasized how the script lets him tap into unexplored dimensions of his talent while contributing to a narrative that breaks away from tired formulas. That combination represents exactly what he seeks when choosing roles. He's eager to eventually share the creative journey with viewers.
His recent appearance came through Special Ops 2, where he embodied a threatening villain opposite Kay Kay Menon and Karan Tacker. The series tracked RAW officer Himmat Singh working to stop a catastrophic cyberattack targeting India's digital systems.
Prior credits include Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and Sultan of Delhi, Milan Luthria's period crime saga adapted from Arnab Ray's novel. Set during 1962, the ensemble featured Mouni Roy, Anjum Sharma, Vinay Pathak, Anupriya Goenka, Nishant Dahiya, Mehreen Pirzada, and Harleen Sethi.
Tahir entered the industry through Kismat Love Paisa Dilli in 2012, with a small Kai Po Che appearance following. Devika Bhagat's romantic comedy One by Two came next before his breakthrough lead role arrived via Pradeep Sarkar's Mardaani in 2014. Playing Delhi human-trafficking boss Karan Rastogi opposite Rani Mukerji, his Breaking Bad-inspired character earned serious recognition. Force 2 cast him as the antagonist, facing John Abraham and Sonakshi Sinha, landing him on Forbes' 2017 30 under 30 list. He walked Cannes' red carpet in 2018 for Nandita Das' Manto, portraying 1940s star Shyam, before appearing in Chhichhore, 83, and Looop Lapeta.
