The most captivating moment of the web series is when Sehar (Kainaaz’s daughter) proclaims that, “I am not a Pakistani I am an Indian”. Kaafir steers clear of the unabating hyper-nationalism and ever-controversial Indo-Pak relations, rather it focuses on the concept of humanity beyond borders, which is something we must applaud. One day, things take u-turn for her when an Indian lawyer-turned journalist ( Vedant Rathod) decides to take up her case and secure justice for her and her daughter.

She gives birth to a baby girl in the prison and spends 8 years on the charges of militancy and cross border terrorism. You have to be particular about your emotions and need to know the entire script.Kaafir is about a young Pakistani woman ( Kainaaz Akhtar), who accidentally crosses border and is held as a prisoner in the conflict prone disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir. It’s not a start-to-finish schedule like a film where you shoot and join the dots. You have to constantly be in sync with emotions. Kaafir is an eight-episode series but while shooting, you really don’t know which part is for which episode. Is shooting for a web series different from films and TV?

When Siddharth (P Malhotra, producer) approached me and narrated the script, I was looking forward to doing it because it would let me showcase different emotions. I had heard the story of Kaafir a while back and it was nothing close to the other subject ( Uri). Now you are making your digital debut with Kaafir, which again has you portraying an intense character. It took me some time to understand and relate to these demands and slowly, steadily make them (filmmakers) believe that I could portray some nice and different characters. TV’s demands are different from those of films. You need to disconnect and reconnect with the market because they are different platforms.

That’s because on TV you have a lot of exposure on a regular basis. Why did it take so long for you to make the transition from TV to films? They approach me with various kinds of scripts, which they feel I will be able to do. Filmmakers are looking at me differently. Has life changed after Uri: The Surgical Strike?
