New Delhi: Arpit Ranka who we all remember for his role of Duryodhana in 2013 series Mahabharat is all set to play a cop in Brahmarakshas 2. For his role, the actor who has a knack for playing negative characters, has shed 15 kg in all.
Arpit has mostly been seen essaying grey characters on television. But, unlike all the previous roles he has performed on television, this time his character is completely different from his previous set of work. His new avatar on Brahmarakshas 2 is that of a cop who turns into a rakshas after the evil power possesses him. The actor is all set to enter the show and sports a clean shaven look.
“Grey characters give an actor a certain edge and I love performing such roles. I think my personality is more suited for negative roles and I am able to show various shades of my acting abilities by playing such characters. In the show Brahmarakshas 2 ,I am playing the character of a cop and will be seen in a clean-shaven look. During the lockdown, I had gained some weight and I have shed nearly around 15 kgs, particularly for this role. I am really excited about it as the audience will get to see me in a regular avatar and I can’t wait for their reaction,” shares the actor.
Brahmarakshas produced by Balaji Telefilms narrates the gripping account of the Brahmarakshas who has returned with twice as much power and is on a mission for immortality.
The show is all set to take a two-year leap and will have new twists and turns. While on one hand a grieving Angad (Peral V. Puri) is seen mourning the loss of his beloved Kalindi (Nikki Sharma) who died at the hands of Angad himself, on the other hand Kalindi’s look alike, Chandni enters as the modern ‘chorni’ and is set to bring much chaos in his life.
Amidst all of this, the Brahmarakshas is in search of a new body to possess and his search will end after entering the body of cop and inspector Yug Suryavanshi played by Arpit Ranka.
