Darshan Kumaar captivated audiences with his portrayal of Krishna Pandit in 'The Kashmir Files.' Now, the actor is all set to win over his fans heart yet again with 'Kaagaz 2.' He plays an IMA officer supporting Satish Kaushik's fight for justice after his daughter's tragic death.
Darshan Kumaar underwent rigorous training to portray an IMA officer on screen. Speaking about his training days, Darshan shared, "I remember one instance when Satish Ji took me to meet one of the officers at IMA. We went up to his office, and the moment the officer saw me, he sternly asked me to return to training."
"Satish Ji and I were shocked for a moment. Later, we realized it was a misunderstanding. The officer mentioned that I resembled one of the cadets so closely that he couldn't recognize me at all and was about to reprimand me. We all shared a hearty laugh thereafter."
He further added, "And this not only happened once but twice. I had a similar experience with a Lady Officer who shouted at me for not being on the ground, and she later realized that I was an actor and not a real cadet."
