Danish plays Sid (Siddharth Bantwal), a real person whose life-altering haunting became the starting point of an extraordinary journey into the paranormal. Danish shares, “Sid isn’t just another character. He’s someone who actually lived through these experiences. Every scene I performed was based on something that truly happened to him and that responsibility changes the way you approach the craft.” Before joining the IPS, Sid encountered a friendly spirit named Bacchua, an episode that pushed him from fear into fascination. “What drew me in was how Sid transforms, from someone who is haunted to someone who helps the haunted. It’s rare to play a man whose trauma becomes his purpose,” shares Danish

As the show progresses, Sid becomes a crucial force in investigating some of India’s most disturbing paranormal cases. He takes on the role of a mediator after Gaurav Tiwari’s death, stepping into the vacuum left behind by a man whose life and passing remain shrouded in unanswered questions.

Unlike conventional horror, Bhay doesn’t rely on graphic ghosts or exaggerated supernatural gimmicks. Instead, it sharpens the fear of the unseen. “What makes Bhay stand out is its honesty. It doesn’t try to show you ghosts every five minutes. It focuses on the feeling—the presence. And honestly, that’s far more unsettling,” Danish adds.

For Danish, the genre comes with personal history. “I grew up terrified of paranormal shows. Now I’ve just gotten better at pretending I’m not scared. But being part of Bhay reminded me that fear and curiosity often walk hand in hand,”admits Danish.

Bhay, starring Karan Tacker as Gaurav Tiwari, a renowned paranormal investigator, alongside Kalki Koechlin, Danish Sood and Saloni Batra, exploring his mysterious life and work through a blend of horror, thriller, and real-life events is streaming live on Amazon MX Player.

#AmazonminiTV, #Amazon’s free video streaming service, recently released its patriarchal-drama series Naam Namak Nishan. Capturing the essence of patriotism and brotherhood, the series is set against the backdrop of the prestigious #OfficersTrainingAcademy (OTA) in Chennai. Produced by Juggernaut Studios, Naam Namak Nishan boasts an outstanding cast featuring #VarunSood, #DanishSood, #HellyShah, and #RoshniWalia in pivotal roles. The series follows the intense journey of young cadets across India as they undergo rigorous training to serve our motherland.

Varun Sood, who portrays Yuvraj Singh Chauhan, an army brat in the series, underwent a complete physical and mental transformation for the role. “I had to undergo a major physical change. Coming from a show where I had a much bigger physique, I knew that wasn’t the look of a cadet so, I lost 16 KGs, which was quite insane. I had to give up plenty of my favorite food,” Sood explained. He sought guidance from his father, a former cadet, to understand the mindset of young soldiers. He also mentioned, “I spent a lot of time talking to my dad, trying to understand how someone so young can be so deeply patriotic and willing to sacrifice their life for the country. It was crucial to understand the discipline, how cadets interact with their seniors, and the entire hierarchy within the academy.”

Varun further emphasized how valuable it was to be surrounded by real-life officers and cadets during the preparation. He highlighted, “We met a lot of officers and cadets and took direct feedback from them about their daily lives and mental state. Being in that environment, surrounded by those who live this life, was invaluable. It gave me a deeper understanding of the character I was portraying.”

Naam Namak Nishan is now streaming exclusively on Amazon miniTV, available on Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, smart TVs, and Play Store.
