Director Tigmanshu Dhulia Explains Why Leads Filmed Separately in Ghamasaan
Ghamasaan, a crime thriller on ZEE5, features lead actors Arshad Warsi and Pratik Gandhi who never filmed scenes together by design. Director Tigmanshu Dhulia explained this choice preserved the story's tension, as their characters, a dacoit leader and a police officer, remain connected through conflict without direct interaction. The actors communicated via phone calls on screen, and this separation enhanced anticipation and intrigue. Pratik Gandhi noted he was unaware of Arshad Warsi's character's appearance during filming, reflecting the elusive nature of the dacoit.
