SITAPUR TO THE SILVER SCREEN VIA AMINABAD

LUCKNOW boy Saad Bilgrami is beginning to be noticed for his new projects. After his stint with a production company that makes web content, he is currently playing Tipu in JioCinema’s new series, Lakhan Leela Bhargava, set in Uttar Pradesh. He will be next seen in Hansal Mehta’s Scam 2003 and the third season of Panchayat. TMS had a quick chat with the actor before he stepped out for martial arts training.

What is Lakhan Leela Bhargava about?

It is a legal drama, but it is much more than that. It speaks of social issues that are relevant for our times. The story is set in Lucknow. There are a total of 21 episodes. Three episodes are dedicated to each case. We see a range of cases being handled by the protagonist--from property misappropriations to social media influencers crossing the line, just to get their five minutes of fame.

You play a gangster in the series. Did you have to channelise your upbringing in UP into the character?
