Anshuman Jha on playing a serial killer in both, an upcoming web Abhay show, and film Midnight Delhi

Anshuman Jha in Abhay
"I modelled my character on a hyena," says Anshuman Jha, the peculiarity of his choice not lost on us. The actor, who plays a serial killer Udayan Das in the web show, Abhay, describes his muse as "violent and extremely dark" when making a case for himself with the choice of animal. In the week gone by, Jha shot for the Zee5 series in Lucknow and Kanpur, along with Kunal Kemmu.
Interestingly, the actor also plays a real-life sociopath in the film, Midnight Delhi, based on a notorious blademan, who, in 2010, would apparently ask for a lift, and slit the throats of those who offered one. "This man is innocently violent, so I have kept a certain amount of delicacy and grace [attached with this role]. [Criminals] think they are fearless heroes, which makes it a treat to play them."
