What makes Purab Kohli shiver?

Actor Purab Kohli, who will be soon seen in the ‘desi’ version of ‘Prisoners of War’ (POW), says just the thought of all the “harsh experiences” that he will portray in the series sends a shiver down his spine.

The show, an official adaptation of Israeli series ‘Hatufim’, will be directed by filmmaker Nikkhil Advani.

The original series, set in 2008, revolves around the life of three Israeli soldiers who were captured 17 years ago while on a secret mission with their unit in Lebanon.

Purab is spending a lot of time looking for ways to understand the mindset of the character. He went to the Sikh Regiment to meet soldiers for his role prep recently, and is also back referencing to a time when he spent ten days shooting for a project at Nashik Jail.

“I’ve not met any real prisoners of war up till now so one can only imagine and try and portray a character who has had such a harsh experience. I’ve met some prisoners at Nashik Jail in the past but that’s a whole different scenario,” Purab said in a statement.

“I’m trying to figure out what I would turn out like if I were to have actually had these experiences. The thought of it often makes me shiver,” added the actor.

The Indian adaptation of the show will also star Amrita Puri, Sandhya Mirdul and Satyadeep Mishra in pivotal roles.
