Paatal Lok creator talks about Jaideep Ahlawat
Reflecting on Jaideep's performance, Sudip says, "Jaideep’s brilliance lies in his ability to simply be on screen—never acting, just existing in the moment. That’s the hallmark of a good actor – the art of just being on screen without being anxious about what to do next. His performance in Paatal Lok was a masterclass in subtlety, where even the spaces of emptiness spoke volumes."
He added, "In season 2, there's a moment in episode 8—a one-minute shot where he does absolutely nothing but think—and yet, you can't take your eyes off him. That's the rare, larger-than-life screen presence he commands, effortlessly captivating the audience. It's inspiring to see such craftsmanship and storytelling come alive in shows like this."
