Harsshh A Singh says, “I agreed to do a small role in ‘Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story’ only because of Neeraj Panday”!

Actor #HaarshASingh is delighted to receive positive feedback on his portrayal of Chautala in #NeerajPandey’s #SpecialOps 1.5: #TheHimmatStory. Singh has shared the screen with a stalwart like #KayKayMenon in the series and had a great time on the set. Speaking about the experience he had with the cast of Special Ops he says, ”I shot only for 2 days with them but had such a wonderful time. I’m a big big fan of Neeraj Pandey’s work and I agreed to do this small role only because of him. But Kay Kay sir was the icing on the cake. The level of detail that goes into the way Neeraj shoots is incredible. For one shot we had the background people performing the entries and exits and perfecting that for at least half an hour with the camera crew before we actually took our shot. With such long complicated handheld shots, the sound needs to be perfect and then actors have to know their lines, their beats, their marks because the handheld camera will come to you maybe 3 minutes after the director has started shooting the take. Imagine if you goof up then what will happen? I mean the director and the cast and the crew and all the people involved in the action will have to start the whole scene again. It’s a labour of love.”

He also adds,”We rehearsed like crazy. The fun part is that actors like Kay Kay are such secure performers that it’s so much fun. I played Chautala – a character who had to intimidate Kay Kay. First of all – this is Kay Kay Menon..but people who know me are aware that I am never intimidated by anyone. So I gave full aggression and instead of being thrown, or taken by surprise, Kay Kay sir just jumped into the rehearsal and responded accordingly. Once the shoot was done, Kay Kay came up to me and asked me if I have had any training with the Police services because he thought I got the mannerisms and the accent correct. Then he said – mazaa ayaa.. That was all the highlight of the shoot for me and what better feedback could I have asked for.”

Singh has been consistently doing great work on OTT platforms. This year he has been also part of Mumbai

Diaries 26/11 and State of Siege: Temple Attack.

Now Aftab Shivdasani is a part of ‘Special Ops 1.5’

CineBuster Online | Updated — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:34:49 +0000

Neeraj Pandey and Friday Storytellers sign on Aftab Shivdasani for Special Ops 1.5… The Himmat Story! It is the next installment of the Special Ops Universe after their show, Special Ops released last year on Disney Hotstar to become a rousing hit instantly. With Special Ops Universe, a new and unique concept is brought to India for the first time.

An excited Aftab, who has been an ardent fan of the series in its first installment shares, “Getting an oportunity to work with a filmmaker like Neeraj Pandey under his banner, Friday Storytellers is huge for me. Thrilled to be a part of the Special Ops Universe, a show I thoroughly enjoyed as a viewer and now I’ll be living the experience as a member of its cast.”

Says Neeraj Pandey, “We at Friday Storytellers are glad to have Aftab Shivdasani on board. He is an exciting addition to the Special Ops 1.5 ensemble and we are looking forward to working with him.”

The overwhelming response by the audiences and their interest in Himmat Singh’s character inspired the makers to embark on 1.5’s journey. Neeraj Pandey and his team started off with a unique Special Ops 1.5; which is neither a prequel nor a sequel and with this the audience will be witnessing the backstory of the main protagonist, Himmat Singh. The series will start with Himmat Singh being assigned another case, but the deflection point is the same parliament attack that started the series of events.

The first season of Special Ops was launched in March 2020. Apart from Kay Kay Menon, the series also starred Saiyami Kher, Sharad Kelkar, Karan Tacker, Muzammil Ibrahim, Sana Khan, Meher Vij, Divya Dutta, Vinay Pathak, and Vipul Gupta among others.

The shoot for Special Ops 1.5 has just begun and we can’t help but wonder which other stars will we get to see in this ensemble cast apart from Aftab Shivdasani and Kay Kay Menon.
