Ankur Rathee on Reeta Sanyal
In a candid conversation, Ankur Rathee told Zoom, “I’ve always dreamed of playing a police inspector. Ever since I was a little kid, I remember watching Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar portray police inspectors in films, fighting for justice and helping those who are disempowered. Something about it made me incredibly excited.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-jDWfiMLTA
He further added, "As a kid, I would get up on my feet, using the remote control as a gun, reenacting scenes and trying to defeat the bad guys, just like the heroes I saw on the big screen. I think I always wanted to play a police inspector, and this show gave me the opportunity to check that off my list, which is super exciting."
Reeta Sanyal review
An excerpt from our review at Zoom read, “When the series stays focused on Adah Sharma’s Reeta, Ishan (Manik Papneja) and police inspector Jai Vardhan (Ankur Rathee), keep you engaged. The actors also convince you easily about their characters. The rest of the cast is a bit lacking in their conviction. The last few minutes ofReeta Sanyal also introduce a female assassin named Zi (Nirisha Basnett), who is being set up as Adah Sharma’s foil. It’s unclear how this matchup is going to unfold, but for now, it seems a bit murky. As a legal thriller, Reeta Sanyal has set up an intriguing mystery. We hope the narrative isn’t further clouded up with unnecessary detours.”
