EXCLUSIVE! British actress Narges Rashidi: ‘I grew up watching Bollywood films, want to work with Shah Rukh Khan one day'
In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost's Lachmi Deb Roy, Narges Rashidi and Sope Dirisu talk on 'Gangs of London', emotional journey doing the role and more read more Sope Dirisu plays Elliot Finch, an undercover police officer who infiltrates the Wallace organization in Gangs of London, and later becomes a mob enforcer. Narges Rashidi portrays Lale, a Kurdish gang leader, in the series. In an interview with Firstpost, both the actors talk about the journey of the series and their roles and how they evolve over a period of time. For Dirisu, he talks about how the character changes from a hero to an anti-hero and the method he followed getting into the role. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Narges Rashidi mentioned that she has been watching Bollywood films ever since her childhood days. In fact, her mother was a huge fan of Hindi movies, so Narges one day wishes to work with Shah Rukh Khan . Edited excerpts of the interview: Since I'm from India, how much do you watch Indian cinema? Have you seen RRR ? Narges: I have. I think it was fantastic. Their action was actually fantastic. So good. I grew up watching Bollywood films because my mom used to watch all these Bollywood films like Sangam and sing and dance with it. And so. I grew up in that world. I'm a big fan of Shah Rukh Khan. So, if he ever wants to work with me, well, I'd love that. How difficult was it to navigate with your shifting identity? So, and how did you manage to do that? Sope Dirisu: I think actually playing Elliot Carter or Elliot Finch was a huge journey. It really drew me to the character in the first instance. The opportunity, not necessarily to play twins, but to definitely have a duplicity to him and to plot that through the series. How his voice might change, how he behaved with different people in his different relationships, what he needed to guard, what he was free with, who he was to himself? All these questions I had and I worked accordingly on it. There were so many different faces of the character that it was a challenge that I really wanted to embrace. And hopefully I've been successful with it to some extent, but I'll let you and our audiences judge that. The role has evolved quite a bit. What do you have to say about the evolving of the role? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sope Dirisu: I think when you ask that question, one of the first things that comes to mind is his emotional journey. And I think of how at the beginning of the series, it was really important that he held his emotions to himself. Whereas as he's lost more and more over the journey of the series. And in series three, for example, there is an emotionlessness that happens because he's lost so much in life. And the journey to finding that again at the end of the series when he's reconnected with the memory and presence of his wife and child. I think that's been a challenge and it also added wonderful depth and layer to a character that could have just become like a mindless psycho. And I think it's important to let the audience into that emotional journey. Otherwise, I think it's very easy to disconnect from someone who's doing such brutally violent things. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A still from Gangs of London And Narges, being a woman in the world of crime and drugs, that is so rare, actually. How difficult was it to prepare yourself for the role? And how difficult was it to get into that mode? Narges Rashidi: It is very rare but I felt very lucky that I was given this opportunity to play somebody so strong and was like I was in level with the boys and the show. I think we have a lot of strong female characters in our show and being one of them was a great experience. I mean, look, I grew up with three brothers. I never felt like I was less than them, you know, like they always made me feel equal. So that for me was not the challenge. What was interesting is to see it, you know, to see somebody so strong on TV, that definitely was something very special, and still is. I still haven't seen that many characters, especially not in the gangster genre, being so strong. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And what was the best scene that you felt that was close to your heart from this particular, both of you for that applies, the scene that you can relate to, which is really close to your heart? Narges Rashidi: I think I was very lucky. I think I had a couple of those scenes. One of them? The first season when Lale finds her husband being grilled by Asif, I think that was very emotional, for sure or having to make a choice between her people and her sisters, her sister and her children, their children. That was definitely a big moment emotionally where she was torn. But she always chooses the greater good. That is also something that makes 'Lala' and makes her so special. Yeah. And then in season three, Can I spoil it now? When she gives birth and we kind of get to know a different Lala, who didn't even expect she existed. You know, that motherly feeling that comes up in that episode. I think that was very, very special. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost's Lachmi Deb Roy, Narges Rashidi and Sope Dirisu talk on 'Gangs of London' And how has your role evolved if you have to say it in a few words and your journey with this particular character with the seasons? Narges Rashidi: I feel like Lale has become throughout the series and we start to see the super tough lady and we get but then throughout the series we get to know her a bit better and we also get to know her vulnerabilities which we don't necessarily see in the beginning but then that's where it evolves to and I'm very curious to see how she can grow further you know I mean there has definitely been a lot of humane growth within her I think What I love about the character is that she's all about her cause and her people. For her, it's not about making money and having a luxurious life. It's really to save her people. But the path she has chosen is dark. That's what makes a difference. I think the path that every character in our show has chosen is dark because it takes place in the gangster world of a multifaceted human being that then doesn't become only about her cause. And that's the surprise I feel like. And that's the beauty about our show anyway, that you always think that a character is going this way and then there's a huge twist and turn. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD How did you work on the diction bit of it and managing with the typical kind of what the role required? Narges Rashidi: The role requires a lot of action. I had a dancing background so when I was a young, I used to dance a lot like jazz ballet flamenco so that I think choreography in itself comes easy to me, so I trained a lot and growing up with three brothers helped a lot as well, because my brother is really good in martial arts and has a studio. So, he helped train me for the role. And if you had to say that the role has evolved quite a bit, but for both of you, how much do you relate to yourself in real life and to the particular character that you play? Sope: For myself, whenever building a character, it's useful to, do your research about them, learn what you can from the scripts and then find out what your parallels are. Where, what are your, what's your personal end point? Where do you cross over? And then find out where you differ and how far you need to reach to those things that make your character specifically not you. Because I actually find playing by myself very difficult. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Elliot is not me. We haven't suffered the same ills and we haven't put ourselves in the same dangerous situation. You have to be empathetic towards your characters, otherwise you can't do them justice, playing them. But I think, I mentioned this a lot and I think I will continue to for the rest of the day because it is a large theme of the show, but his love for his family and what he's willing to do for not only his given family but the family that he's chosen are things that I think resonate with. A still from 'Gangs of London' And how do you feel that these actions of each of the characters can impact the real world? Sope Dirisu: Thankfully, Gangs of London is a work of fiction. When we started working on the series that we had any great plans to be more realistic or to, reminds me of the beginning of an episode of South Park where it says any likeness to things that happen in the real world is purely a coincidence, which is definitely not true on their part. But we're not trying to, We're not trying to deal with social issues, really, in our series. The violence is quite cartoonish. The police never turn up in the way that they would in the real world. So, I would rather not try and moralize how Elliot's actions affect people in the real world, because I don't want people to watch this and say that, oh, that's a role model that I want to base my life choices on. I'm delighted that people are entertained by the series, but I wouldn't want them to take anything serious away from it.
