Actor John Kokken spoke about teaming up with Anupam Kher and shared that he was well-prepared before sharing screen space with him in ‘The Freelancer:The Conclusion’. John Kokken, who plays the role of Raghuvendra Setu, said: “One of the things that I have learned in my career as an actor is to do my homework well and prepare the lines.
“I rehearse the lines a couple of times in advance and I memorise the entire scene. Also, considering the fact that I was going to act with Anupam Kher Sir, I had better be prepared. On the day of the shoot, before the take, Anupam Kher Sir and I rehearsed the lines probably at least 10 times in Neeraj Pandey Sir’s presence.”
He added: “Anupam Kher Sir is a phenomenal actor and an amazing co-star to work with, always encouraging his co-actors to bring the best performance out of them.

Actor Mohit Raina had support from the Moroccan army while shooting for the series ‘The Freelancer: The Conclusion’. The action in the show looks real because they actually used real arms and ammunition of the Moroccan army in the series
Talking about the same, Mohit said: “We had support from the Moroccan army as well, they used to supply arms and ammunition to us for the shoot, but only after submitting our passports. Working with an international crew is pretty much like an amalgamation of cultures.”
He added: “There was a little bit of a drawback in terms of communication because they mainly speak French. The cast too brought together people from different nations too.”
The series is based on the book ‘A Ticket to Syria’ by Shirish Thorat, directed by Bhav Dhulia, produced by Friday Storytellers, created by showrunner Neeraj Pandey, directed by Bhav Dhulia and produced by Shital Bhatia.

The concluding part of ‘The Freelancer’ based on Shirish Thorat’s book ‘A Ticket to Syria‘ is worth the wait. If the first was to establish the extremist threat and its consequences, the conclusion is ‘extraction with a game plan’. It is not just about the gun battle but more of creating the environment of the hostage / victim and her saviour.

The series is headlined by actor Mohit Raina.

He added: “I tried to live the character and kept it as natural as possible.”

Neeraj Pandey’s The Freelancer, the brand-new action thriller web series, takes us through a war-torn Syria, which has become one of the most hostile regions of the world. The premise for the thriller series has been adapted from Shirish Thorat’s popular book, A Ticket to Syria. The biggest giveaway here is the nature of the genre. On the surface, The Freelancer is a rescue mission, but at its core, it takes us through the lawlessness of a particular region of the country and the rampant radicalization happening in the name of religion. The tense visuals, coupled with hardcore action sequences, add to the grittiness of the narrative presented in the trailer.

Actress Kashmira Pardeshi has decoded her drill for the preparation of her intensely layered character, Aliya in the riveting thriller ‘The Freelancer’, and shared how she slipped into the skin of her character. Talking about the preparation for her role as Aliya, Kashmira said: “So, the script is based on the book ‘Ticket to Syria’. But I read the book much later as I was asked not to read the book. I even personally believe that a well written script will have everything that an actor needs.”
“But to prepare for the character, I watched a lot of documentaries made on families that have faced this. On girls that have voluntarily fled to Syria, or that have been abducted and taken there. I read about Sushmita Banerjee, a Kabuliwala’s wife and referred to a lot of Malala stories which were really very inspiring,” she shared.

Model-turned-actor Navneet Malik has opened up on what he dislikes about the showbiz, saying there should be a system where artistes with potential can reach out to the casting directors, and vice-versa. Navneet will be soon seen playing the negative lead in the thriller series ‘The Freelancer’.
The actor who is known for his role in ‘Heropanti 2’, said: “What I like about this industry right now is people are not bounding any actor into certain roles, whether it’s positive or negative. They accept them in different roles and characters. That’s the good part of this industry.”
He further shared: “I dislike that whatever roles that are coming in the industry are not reaching to the potential people, like there are thousands of deserving and experienced people.”
