As anticipation builds for the release of Berlin, actor Aparshakti Khurana has expressed his admiration for the film's unique approach and the visionary direction of Atul Sabharwal. In this gripping spy thriller, Khurana plays a pivotal role as a sign language expert, a choice that he credits to the filmmaker’s innovative storytelling.
Berlin, directed by Atul Sabharwal, is set against the backdrop of a politically turbulent New Delhi in the 1990s. The film stars a stellar ensemble cast including Aparshakti Khurana, Ishwak Singh, Rahul Bose, Anupriya Goenka, and the legendary Kabir Bedi. This ambitious project aims to redefine the spy thriller genre for Indian audiences by integrating fresh elements and an evocative narrative.
In a recent interview, Khurana praised Sabharwal’s direction and the film's inventive use of sign language. He remarked, “Atul Sabharwal, the writer and director, is one of those rare talents in our film industry who brings poignant and accurate storytelling to the screen. The use of sign language as a narrative tool is a beautiful and innovative choice that advances the story in a unique way. All the credit for this goes to him; whatever I did on screen was guided by his vision.”
The integration of sign language into the plot not only adds depth to the character but also highlights the film’s commitment to authenticity and creativity. This distinctive approach is expected to enhance the immersive experience of Berlin, adding layers to its already complex narrative of power, deceit, and high-stakes drama.
The ZEE5 original film, Berlin starts streaming from 13th September 2024.
