Akshay Oberoi on Gaslight: Pavan Kirpalani worked very hard on the Character with me

Akshay Oberoi will next be seen in Gaslight also starring Sara Ali Khan, Vikrant Massey and Chitrangda Singh in pivotal roles. The actor has opened up about playing a character with a blue-blooded upbringing besides sharing how he prepared for his role in the film.

"I love playing these characters, where it's not clear who they are and as the film progresses, their personality comes out. In this film as well, the character is not meant to be played for laughs, but rather, there's something about his lineage that he's trying to chase," Oberoi said.

He also added that the director and writer worked hard on his character so that it is portrayed well on-screen.

"Pavan Kirpalani and Neha Veena Sharma worked very hard on the character with me, which made the entire process easy and fun," he said.

Directed by Pavan Kirpalani, the film also stars Rahul Dev in key roles. Gaslight will stream on Disney+Hotstar from March 31.
