Aarya web series: what the lead star cast is saying about it
Talking about the series, Sushmita Sen said that she had to unlearn everything to play the lead role of Aarya in the series due to the authenticity of the writing, the setting, the costumes. She said, “I come from a larger-than-life screen. We are used to everything being dramatic. Our dialogues are delivered a certain way. Our make-up is done in a certain way. But with Ram Madhvani and with Aarya, I had to unlearn everything.”
She added, “I had to learn how to go from a larger than life screen to an intimate screen since OTT is an intimate platform. It was a 360-degree approach to play Aarya. His (Ram Madhvani) technique of shooting Aarya was that a full day of shooting goes on. There are no cuts, no over-shoulder, no close-ups. I haven’t looked at the monitor even once to see how I was looking.”
Chandrachur Singh who is also making a comeback to the screen said, “On the sets of Aarya, we were addressed as our characters, both, on and off camera. That was Ram’s way of keeping us in character. When we walked on the set, we were addressed like ‘Tej walks on the set’ or ‘Aarya walks on the set’. Everyone on the set was so passionate that we just had to feed off each other’s energy. Also, all the tears and everything that you see in the series is real. There is no glycerine used. It is like one long scene happening, so you get involved in it entirely.”
What Aarya is all about? Plot and storyline
Sushmita Sen is in a titular role of Aarya Sareen. Aarya is a thriller crime drama. The official plotline reads, “When her world suddenly turns upside down, will Aarya become the very thing she hated? How far will she go to survive and protect her family?”
