New Delhi, Sep 24 (UNI) Veteran actor Rajesh Khattar who is all set for the release of family drama ‘Karm Yuddh’, has shared his challenges of playing a character with restricted mobility.

Disney+ Hotstar recently released the trailer of epic tale of power and revenge ‘Karm Yuddh’.

Rajesh will be seen playing Vardhan Roy, a paralysed second heir to the business.

Based in the city of Kolkata, the family drama revolves around the power-hungry lives of the Roys, who have dominated the economic horizon of the city for decades. It captures the quest for control over the flourishing Roy Group of Industries.

Rajesh in a statement said, “It becomes quite challenging to play a specially-abled character as we actors normally use our bodies as tools to enact. Small movements like a hand gesture, style of walk, or even a shoulder shrug, convey a lot about what the character is going through, but when you are stripped of all these, then all you are left with is the face.”

“In Vardhan’s case, he could not even use his face, so all I was left with was the eyes to express. The entire gamut of emotions he was going through had to be conveyed through his eyes,” he said.

He also added how his own research and a few helping hands helped perfect the role.

“To pin the character, I referred to a few real-life cases to get the hang of it but largely had to depend on my own and our director Ravi Ji's input. Since most of my scenes were with Paoli (Dam), I took her feedback as well,” he shared.

Produced by Gautam Adhikari, Makrand Adhikari and Kailashnath Adhikari of Happi Digital (Shri Adhikari Brothers) Production and Directed by Ravi Adhikari, the series stars a talented ensemble that also consists of Satish Kaushik, Ashutosh Rana, Ankit Bisht, Pranay Pachauri, Soundarya Sharma, Chandan Sanyal and others.

It will air on September 30 on Disney+ Hotstar.
