Speaking on this exciting series’ desi adaptation Saif spoke exclusively to this writer: “The web is just blowing up these days in terms of creativity and realism in drama … really showing us and telling it like it is … that’s the most exciting thing about the series. Great roles etc … but the ability to really push creativity and honesty is the biggest excitement for me . The Bridge has been a great show in many contexts and it lends itself beautifully to India. I know endemol and Rishi Negi will ensure this is a product that clears the bar that is right now set pretty high.”
