“The most interesting thing about being an actor is that you are constantly learning new things. Sometimes they are very fascinating like the time when I played a Rabari in my film Jal. Here I am playing a prisoner of war and therefore the role is quite intense and dark. It’s going to be quite challenging,” says Purab.
