Getting to the roots

Sony LIV is all set to stream the highly anticipated musical thriller series Chamak on December 7.

In this star-studded series, actress Isha Talwar will be seen essaying the role of Jasmin Sandhu, aka Jazz, a true-blooded Punjabi and a musician, whose passion for singing and playing the dhol knows no bounds.

Delving into her role, Isha shared a few insights into her preparation to infuse authenticity into her character.

Isha said, “For me to get into a character, it is important to understand the milieu the story is based in. So, I chose to live with my friend Jassi Sangha in Moga, Punjab. I had to find Isha’s roots first to get to Jazz’s roots. Additionally, I learnt to play the dhol to bring authenticity to my performance.”

Created and directed by Rohit Jugraj Chauhan, Chamak boasts a star-studded cast, including Paramvir Singh Cheema, Manoj Pahwa, Gippy Garewal, Mohit Malik, Isha Talwar, Mukesh Chhabra, Prince Kanwaljit Singh, Suvinder (Vicky) Pal, and Akasa Singh.
