Chandan Anand, the talented actor, who has entertained masses in shows like Prem Ya Paheli: Chandrakantha, Khoob Ladi Mardaani Jhansi Ki Rani, and Barrister Babu, is currently charming his fan base as Saddam in Sony SAB’s Alibaba Dastaan-e-Kabul.
Talking about the daily, Chandan said, “Since childhood, we have been hearing about the story of Alibaba and Chalis chor, but our show Alibaba Dastaan-e-Kabul is not a regular story of a cave replete with treasure. In fact, our story is packed with intense twists and dramatic events. For the first time ever, viewers have witnessed television’s first SimSim who is in dire need of a broken piece of the pendant. Once she finds what she is looking for, she will bring her lover, Iblis back to life. This will make her happy and Saddam will become the Sultan of Kabul. That’s the deal between SimSim and Saddam. So, the crux of the current plot is finding that pendant. I must say our show is a visual treat and is a complete family entertainer for all age groups.”
Further revealing about his character, he added, “Generally, villains are harsh, rude, cruel and they easily come across as a villain. However, Saddam in the show is an exceptionally shrewd clown with extraordinary strength. It’s a strange blend, yet it brings out the cunning evil side of him. The audience has been very appreciative of my role from day one. Be it my look or the way I have acted; I have received compliments from all. I feel that is what motivates me and inspires me to push my boundaries. I would like to thank fans for showering their love and blessings. I am glad and grateful to my audience.”
When asked about the preparation for the role, he mentioned, “During the preparation, I read the script and imagined Saddam’s character and the world he belongs to. I just made sure that I try my best to portray his characteristics. I try my best to give a hundred percent as an actor till the time the director is happy and convinced with my performance.”
