Nikkhil Advani on roping in global talent for Freedom At Midnight
In an official statement, Nikkhil Advani said one of the biggest regrets he had during Rocket Boys was that he wasn't able to cast actors from the USA and UK because of the COVID-19 lockdown. However, with Freedom At Midnight, Nikkhil was determined to get global talent onboard for the series.
"We had to get the actors who not only physically resembled these historical figures but those who would challenge the super Indian actors we had cast," he said.
