She’s one of the strongest women characters I’ve seen… doesn’t happen out of nowhere. See, this character is not a replica… Vartika is her own person. Yes, I had a blueprint, but I had to create this person. But the intricacies, the moment-to-moment interactions, how she expresses… that can’t be taught or learnt. I did ask her a lot of questions, but I just met her for two hours… you can’t soak in a person in two hours! I asked her all the questions I wanted to. I also had the honour of meeting the DCP (Chhaya Sharma) on whom my character is based. Yes, of course, there was research and he had interacted with a lot of high-level cops. I want someone who will meet me halfway and together we will do this’. One of the first things he said to me was, ‘I don’t want an actress on the show. His version was a minute-by-minute detailed take on the investigation which couldn’t be left to imagination at all. Yes, Richie had done a lot of work on this he had all the facts in place, particularly about the investigation. What kind of work did you have to put in to understand and play Vartika? The director researched the material for four years. But I didn’t know this side of the story, honestly… the investigation bit of it. Plus, this was an incident that affected all of us. I did it because I saw what he wanted to do with it. You can also make out the sensitivity of the maker when you watch the show. It’s a very pertinent story, a very strong story. I went home and read one episode… and in one hour, I had finished all eight episodes! I immediately texted him and said, ‘Listen, I have to do this!’
When Richie spoke to me about the idea of the show, I said ‘Yes’ within the first three minutes! He gave me the script and I asked him to give me a couple of days to read it because I was caught up with something else. If it instinctively hooks me, then it hooks me. I don’t pick up a project based on its success ratio. I can never visualise what the final product will look like and where it’s going to go… that’s not why and how I pick what I want to do. This is definitely a story that needed to be told and it was a no-brainer that I wanted to be part of it. So was it the fact that it’s a pertinent story that needed to be told that made you want to do it? And once people start watching it, they can’t stop. But there are also people on social media who are encouraging others, saying, ‘It’s not about it. They are like, ‘We don’t want to revisit the case’. It’s been fantastic.Ī lot of people are wary of starting it. Every single actor - even the smallest part - has come in for praise, so has the sound, the music, everything. The DoP (Johan Heurlin Aidt) is remarkable, the writing (by Richie Mehta) is top-notch…. It’s raised questions and triggered conversations and it’s a show that’s powerful in almost every possible respect, and not just creatively. Role of media is Questioned, their integrity and their insensitivity.Most people who have reached out to me think it’s the best show to have come out of India so far. What we as a Human, Citizen are doing to make our society live in peace over rest in peace, Is I’m a noble human being, can I go forward to make myself a better Human.ĭelhi Crime again raised many questions to us, before we question on system and curse and abuse our System. Even with the all odd, there are some unnamed heros and Sheroes who are in the system trying to make this system work and take responsibility. Richie Mehta, rewrite the Storyline on Nirbhaya Rape Case and justified with the direction while closely showcasing the Characters and their juggling between their own personal lives.Īfter watching the series, as a citizen of India, you must realize the how insensitive and misguided we were by our own Media and Political Parties only try to hack the stage for their own benefit.
A view which was never showed before, our society is matured with the pre-judged stans on Police System and Government labeled as the corrupt and ineffective government system. Richie Mehta, a Canadian filmmaker recreated the crime from the angel of Delhi Police their struggle and chase to get the criminals.
