As the groundbreaking film `Mardaani` marks its 10th anniversary, actor Tahir Raj Bhasin took a moment to reflect on his unforgettable debut and the emotional journey that came with playing the anti-hero in this iconic Hindi cinema thriller. Directed by the late Pradeep Sarkar and starring Rani Mukerji, `Mardaani` not only introduced audiences to a new kind of villain but also established Tahir as a promising talent in Bollywood.

Tahir Raj Bhasin recalls the pivotal moment when he was chosen from among hundreds of aspiring actors to play the role of the anti-hero in `Mardaani.` The selection process was rigorous, with multiple rounds of auditions testing his acting mettle. When he finally received the news that he had been cast, Tahir was overwhelmed with emotion. `I distinctly remember the moment I was told that among the hundreds who auditioned for the role, after multiple rounds of auditions, I was chosen to play the anti-hero in Mardaani. I cried with happiness,` Tahir shared. The reality of this achievement only truly set in during the first script reading session with the entire cast and crew.

Tahir's debut in `Mardaani` was not just a career milestone; it was a transformative experience that shaped his approach to acting. Working under the direction of Pradeep Sarkar was both an honor and a learning opportunity. Tahir described Sarkar as a `maverick visionary director` who played a crucial role in bringing the complex character of the anti-hero to life. `Mardaani was not just a project; it was a transformative experience for me. Working with Pradeep Sarkar was an honor; he was a maverick visionary director,` Tahir said. He credited Sarkar with crafting a character that was both charming and edgy, a portrayal that stood out in the film. Sarkar's unique ability to provide clear direction while allowing actors the space to explore their performances made the experience particularly enriching for Tahir.

Sharing the screen with a seasoned actress like Rani Mukerji was another highlight of Tahir's `Mardaani` journey. He expressed admiration for Rani's professionalism, dedication, and magnetic presence, qualities that left a lasting impression on him as a newcomer. `She was a star I grew up watching. There was so much to learn from her. Rani Mukerji's presence was magnetic, and her professionalism and commitment to the role were unparalleled,` Tahir said, reflecting on the experience.

The success of `Mardaani` brought Tahir widespread recognition and praise, including a memorable endorsement from Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. Tahir fondly recalled the moment he saw Aamir's tweet, where the actor praised his performance, asking, `Who is this new guy? I liked his performance.` For Tahir, this acknowledgment from one of the industry's biggest stars was nothing short of surreal. `I particularly remember Aamir Khan sir's tweet for me. He had tweeted, 'Who is this new guy? I liked his performance.' I was over the moon when I saw his tweet for me!` Tahir shared with excitement.

As `Mardaani` turns ten, Tahir Raj Bhasin looks back at his journey with immense gratitude. Landing the role of the anti-hero in such a significant film was a dynamic start to his career, and it is an experience he will always cherish. `Landing the role of the anti-hero in the first part of the Mardaani franchise was a dynamic start for me, and it is an experience I will always value,` Tahir concluded.

Tahir Raj Bhasin's journey from an aspiring actor to a recognized name in Bollywood began with his powerful portrayal of the anti-hero in `Mardaani.` As the film celebrates a decade of success, Tahir's reflections serve as a reminder of the dedication, emotion, and passion that go into creating cinematic history.
