Actor Rajneesh Duggal is getting ready to make his debut abroad in the Indo-Nigerian television series Postcards. “In November of last year, I received a call at random regarding postcards. He says, “We need to test you for something international, but I wasn’t informed what.” I was merely called and told that.”
“With the web coming in, it’s more realistic and not your standard Bollywood masala. It’s an actual story. The director, a die-hard Indian at heart, is fascinated by YRF and Dharma. She likes showing larger-than-life objects, but this has more romance and human emotions, so it would be rather realistic and breathtaking to watch. I speak Hindi and English most of the time in the series, although it’s in English and Nigea,” the 44-year-old continues.
“Hopefully, it will be well received after its worldwide distribution. This has the potential to elevate our industry to a global scale. He says, “I am happy and excited about bigger things ahead; I am also doing something else internationally, which I can only reveal later. This international project will also impact my career in a positive way, and I’m sure about that.”
Duggal has ventured into international enterprises, although his ambitions are still firmly anchored in Bollywood. “I am also hoping that this will bring along more opportunities in Bollywood, that too revolving around me,” the actor said. He continued, “I am already doing a couple of films, but I would love to work with the best of makers and as an antagonist or protagonist, so I am looking forward to it.”
Having said that, I have no objections to the medium; the function needs to be substantial and powerful. I want to be adaptable as an actor, whether it’s for theatre or OTT,” he says in closing.
