 "Netflix's Black Warrant actor Sidhant Gupta reacts to the allegations of glorification of Charles Sobhraj in Vikramaditya Motwane's show: 'I was getting a chance to play the greatest...'")
Sidhant Gupta has been garnering accolades for his portrayal of Charles Sobhraj in Netflix’s Black Warrant. However, a certain section of the audience has alleged that the show has glorified the French Killer.
While talking to HT, the talented actor said its “a nice little ego boost that you are doing something right and it’s working,” adding, “It’s gratifying and a fuel for an artist when the love that comes is real. It drives you to do more. I’m thankful that the audience give me so much love every time.”
Reacting to the alleged glorification of Charles Sobhraj , Siddhant said, “If he’d have done the right thing, people would have called him a genius. But because he has done wrong things, we call him a mastermind, a term well suited for criminals. At the end of the day, he had a gifted mind. And for me, I saw it that I was getting a chance to play the greatest actor. In real life, that’s all he is doing as that’s where he gets his kick, by fooling everyone across Europe and Asia.”
He added, “You need to keep hate, crime and all that there is alive through stories and stories itself. It’s very important. There’s a reason that people like criminal thrillers, murders and action. It’s the most important thing to just do whatever is needed to keep all of this alive through stories. We all like watching it as it’s where you get the release from.”
Sidhant said that he was amused by Charles’ story and shared, “How does he think all this? How is it all possible? Call him conman, call him magician, he is an enigma.”
The show also features Zahan Kapoor, Rahul Bhat, Paramvir Singh Cheema, and Anurag Thakur in prominent roles.
