Director Prosit Roy initially planned to style Ali Fazal’s cop character in ‘Raakh’ after Vinod Khanna’s flamboyant look from the 1970s. However, the show’s creative team suggested a different approach for the lead role as pre-production progressed.
Roy, along with actors Ali Fazal, Sonali Bendre, Aamir Bhashir, Ramandeep Yadav, Anusha Nandkumar, and Sandeep Sanket, shared insights post the show’s release. The team delved into extensive research and pre-production work, focusing on period-specific details like casting, production design, and historical references.
The director mentioned consulting policemen from that era to ensure authenticity in portraying the character. Despite initial plans inspired by 70s cinema, the team opted for a more in-depth exploration to accurately depict the period, including nuances like lighting choices reflecting the era’s technology.
The series ‘Raakh’ is now streaming on Prime Video.
