Some scripts immediately resonate with you. Then there are those that have something missing, and yet are too good to pass. For Parvathy Thiruvothu, Kadak Singh was the latter. The actor felt the script didn’t establish her character strongly. But it presented the opportunity to collaborate with Pankaj Tripathi and director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury. “My first response was, ‘I don’t know whether I want to do this film’. I couldn’t quite see my character on paper. But Tony da [Chowdhury] made me see what we’d be building together. It was a leap of faith for me because while the script in its entirety was brilliant, you can’t only love a script. Your first point of contact with a story is your character. Tony da convinced me about it on a Zoom call,” she recounts. Today, as the thriller drops on ZEE5, the actor is glad to have taken that leap of faith.
