Tahir Raj Bhasin On Being In Special Ops 2: 'Felt Like New Boy In School, Everyone Knew Each Other'
Bhasin said it is challenging to join a popular show in its second season. Actor Tahir Raj Bhasin says he felt like the new boy in school, but everyone welcomed him warmly on the sets of Neeraj Pandey's 'Special Ops 2", which features the actor in the role of an antagonist. Bhasin broke out with the Rani Mukerji-starrer 'Mardaani" in 2014, where he played a negative role. His other notable ventures include 'Chhichhore" and 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein", and '83". The actor described his role of 'Collector' in 'Special Ops 2" as someone who is 'part gangster, part tech tycoon". 'It's been about 10 years since I played an antagonist. What I really enjoy about the 'Collector' in 'Special Ops 2' is that he is a rebel with a cause," Bhasin told PTI in an interview. In the second season of the show, Kay Kay Menon's Himmat Singh is tackling cyber terrorism as an AI scientist is abducted from a tech summit in the show, which was released on JioHotstar on July 18. The show also features Karan Tacker, Vinay Pathak and Muzammil Ibrahim. Bhasin said it is challenging to join a popular show in its second season. 'I felt like the new boy in school, where everyone else knew each other, but the rest of the ensemble were very warm and welcoming. Karan, in particular, was very friendly. I spent time with Kay Kay Menon off set and it was like meeting a senior from college because you know someone who has been in Bombay so much longer than you, just knows what life is about a little more," he said. 'Every conversation I would have with Kay Kay was very enlightening… What I see in Kay Kay's work is that he is always truthful and authentic to what the part is, he's not judging the character, and that's something that I hope to take forward in my work as well," he added. Which is why going head-to-head with Menon in the show felt like a big compliment for the actor. 'I gravitate towards lead parts that are disruptive… As the show unravels, you discover why he operates in certain ways, and there is an element of mystique to his character, but in his mind, he is a sort of reformer. One of the lines that has really stuck with the audience is 'I am also in the business of cyber security, just on a different side'." Bhasin said unlike conventional antagonists, his character relies completely on brains. 'If the show had been released 10-15 years ago, it would have seemed like science fiction, but in the recent past we have seen so many cyber attacks and financial attacks happen that it's all too real," he said. The actor is currently shooting for a Netflix show alongside Parineeti Chopra, which is directed by Renzil D'Silva.

Shantanu & Nikhils show at ICW 2025 turns into a star-studded affair
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) Designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil showcased their new collection Metropolis at Hyundai India Couture Week amid the star-studded presence of Bollywood stars such as Arjun rampal, Jim Sarbh, Rajkummar Rao and Zahaan Kapoor. The celebrity guests also included Randeep Hooda, Vihaan Samat, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Manushi Chillar and cricketer Mithali Raj. The actors also joined the duo at the end of the show and walked the runway with them. Nikhil said the collection for this season was all about different people coming together. 'Storytelling is incredibly important for us, and this time it was called 'Metropolis'. It was not about the clothes, it was not about the season or the bridal couture that India is known for. It was about people, it was about different beautiful people coming together under one roof, and no matter where they are from," he said post show. Shantanu said the inspiration for the latest collection is the new culture. The designer they have always been about trying to be 'anti-trend". 'Couture has always been a timeless phenomenon, and in India, we associate it with the wedding market, which is a huge carnival, and that's a celebration. No one can take that celebration away from us; that's what defines us. 'But within the celebration, there is a larger perspective of how you can see couture being worn outside of what you think brides and grooms should wear. And I think that's where there is a huge cultural shift. We have always been the torchbearers, we have always tried to be the anti-trend, and I think that's something that works for us," he said. The glamorous collection served both royal and futuristic vibes with its range of formal and ethnic wear for men and women. Outfits were intricately designed with pearls, crystals, and beads, and drapes. Menswear comprised structured sherwanis with closed-ruffle necklines, blazers encrusted with crystals, draped kurtas with jewelled motifs and cropped bandhgalas. Sculpted silhouettes and embellished pinstripes were also present. Womenswear had long skirts with slit paired with blazers and metallic accessories. Ruffled constructions and embellished pearl accents complemented the outfits. Formals with a top fully covered with pears and an overcoat were among the highlights. India Couture Week commenced on July 23 and will conclude on Wednesday with a final show by J J Valaya.
