Harshita Gaur steps into supernatural style for first time

For 9 years, Harshita Gaur has lived as Dimpy Pandit within the fictitious, blood-soaked gullies of Purvanchal, the place the roar of gunshots and the sting of profanity had been the norm. Now, she is buying and selling the grit of Mirzapur for the strain of haunted hallways and the spine-chilling anticipation of the unknown within the upcoming supernatural collection, Anarth, on Prime Video. The timing, she says, was good. “I’ve by no means finished horror. Additionally, the present got here to me at a time after I was searching for work.”

Whereas soar scares and sudden digicam pans preserve one hooked, what resonated with Gaur was the “stunning baseline about our day-to-day horrors”. “Once I first heard the story, I assumed it was insane. It has an excellent theme that may contact everybody’s hearts, as Ananya [Banerjee] has written and directed the present [with Gaurav Chawla]. They’re additionally those who created Adhura [2023],” she explains, refusing to reveal additional particulars on the Kalki Koechlin, Gulshan Devaiah, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay-starrer.
