Filmmaker Milan Luthria's 'Sultan Of Delhi' is creating all the right buzz. It is based on the book, 'Sultan of Delhi: Ascension' by Arnab Ray. The series stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anjumm Shharma, Vinay Pathak, Nishant Dahiya, Anupriya Goenka, Mouni Roy, Harleen Sethi and Mehreen Pirzada, making for a perfect ensemble cast.

Nishant Dahiya and Anupriya Goenka showcased an incredible level of comfort with each other, allowing their characters to come alive in ways that felt truly authentic. Anupriya Goenka shares how she went about shooting the intimacy scenes for 'Sultan on Delhi'.

Talking about the same, Anupriya said, “Nishant and I are very committed actors and we were both comfortable and took the intimate scenes head on. We just knew that we had to do it and give it our best shot so we didn't discuss much about it. There was not much prep that went into the process apart from working on our own characters, sometimes together and sometimes individually. We had an intimacy workshop that really helped us. Aastha was really nice and appreciative''.

She added, ''However, between Nishant and me there was never awkwardness and we were more focused on the scenes and not being worried about the intimate part of it. He is very comfortable to work with and very collaborative. We would talk and discuss how we wanted to approach a scene and we were always doing it from an emotional or the layered part of the characters. The intimacy part of it came as a byproduct of the story and the other scenes.” 

'Sultan of Delhi' is streaming on October 13, 2023 on Disney+ Hotstar.
