Taha Shah Badussha talks to Sneha Menon Desai about Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, the global appeal of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and the overwhelming response his character Tajdar has received from fans. Badussha speaks fondly about watching Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis at the Cannes Film Festival, and how Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light is going to open doors for Indian cinema. The actor also discusses the importance of networking and spending his life on “jugaadu passes” until he struck gold with Heeramandi. Badussha reveals that he was thrown out of 7-8 big films before he landed the role of Tajdar on Bhansali’s magnum opus series on Netflix.
