‘Helicopter Eela’ actor Rashi Mal shot for a web series during lockdown, enjoyed doing action scenes
The series, ‘The Missing Stone’, which recently released on MX player, follows the intertwined journey of three main characters and every step forward unravels murkier secrets. Psychological thrillers are gaining popularity, as a genre, in India and “The Missing Stone” will definitely be one that leaves the audience on the edge of their seats.
Rashi Mal, who plays the character of “Payal” who sets in motion a series of mysterious events that become the backbone of this gripping thriller, says “Payal’s journey in the show is what made me pick this script. She is a complex creature with her own strengths, flaws and quirks. Therefore, I wanted to play it as real as possible and spent a fair amount of time in character development.”
Rashi further adds, “Shooting for the show was a beautiful experience despite it being at the peak of the lockdown. I particularly enjoy doing action sequences so it was wonderful that I got an opportunity to do that as well.”
The “A.I.SHA” actor emphasises how she consciously did not want to slot the character as good or bad but bring in all the nuances of the human experience in her performance. She has always chosen unique, performance driven parts in projects such as ‘Helicopter Eela’ and ‘Sir’ and has pushed the envelope further with her role in this series.
