Actor Vaibhav Raj Gupta, who plays the role of a cop named Vikram Singh in the latest series “Mandala Murders”, has spoken about his journey and said the first day of the look test was also a big milestone for him.
Reflecting on his journey, Vaibhav shares: “I recorded every moment from day one till the end while working on Mandala Murders. I’ll never forget the day the YRF gates opened for me – it was such a special moment.”
“The first day of the look test was also a big milestone. Getting selected for the role was a moment of pride and excitement for me.”
Talking about his preparation, he shared that Gopi Puthran and Manan Rawat “worked with me for months in workshops, shaping every bit of Vikram.”
“From how he stands, moves, and channels his anger to finding the right tone in his voice, his look, and the intensity he carries, they built the character with me piece by piece.”
“The brief was to become this angry young man, which is the complete opposite of who I am, so those sessions really helped me step out of myself and into Vikram,” he said.
Opening up about the emotional toll of the role, he adds, “I got emotional because what my character goes through is not very easy, it’s hard for any actor to process. I wanted to make it feel real and personal.”
