Tahir Raj Bhasin: Will stretch my acting muscles

Tahir Raj Bhasin

He walked into the year with two big films, 83 and Looop Lapeta, under his belt. Three months on, Tahir Raj Bhasin has more reason to cheer. The actor has bagged Bulbul Tarang opposite Sonakshi Sinha and the series, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, with Shweta Tripathi Sharma. Highlighting that the Netflix offerings belong to different genres, he says, "While Bulbul Tarang is an all-out romantic drama with a social message woven in, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein is a suspense thriller. Both are entertaining stories with power-packed parts." The film will mark his first collaboration with Shree Narayan Singh, who has previously helmed Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) and Batti Gul Meter Chalu (2018).

The actor, who had made a splash with his Bollywood debut Mardaani (2014), believes that the forthcoming projects will showcase his versatility. "We will start shooting Bulbul Tarang mid-April. Being the lead of Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein is an exciting new challenge. I will stretch my acting muscles as I juggle the genres over the next few months."
