Mohit Raina is currently basking in the success of his digital debut, Kaafir. Written by Bhavani Iyer and directed by Sonam Nair, the eight-episode series chronicles the journey of a young Pakistani woman, who gets held as a prisoner after crossing over to India under mysterious circumstances. Mohit, who plays lawyer-journalist Vedant Rathore, takes it upon himself to set her free. Kaafir also touches upon the subject of prejudice and the \u2018us versus them\u2019 divide in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mohit has been a popular television face having played lead roles in shows like Mahadev, Ashoka and 21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897. Earlier this year, the actor made his Bollywood debut with the much-acclaimed Uri: The Surgical Strike. Mohit recently spoke to indianexpress.com about his shift from television, working with big banners and his love life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, I feel it\u2019s all about time. But one can\u2019t be dependent on the past work. You have to start from zero, with a clean slate. There was a lot of unlearning to be done when I moved from TV to films. There would be opportunities but it is all up to you. How you milk the right offers and work it to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would love to do all kinds of roles. Yes, the past characters were strong but I have a lot of things lined up. The next roles will definitely take me out of my comfort zone. It will have me projecting different emotions. There\u2019s Shiddat next which is a romantic film. There\u2019s another project which has drama and emotions. So, you will see me in different flavours soon and I hope I keep getting the best roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
