Wicked and loving it

Adah Sharma

Last year, Adah Sharma tasted success with The Kerala Story, which became a box-office hit despite being widely panned by critics and some sections of the audience. Now, she is gearing up to tickle the audience's funny bone with the second season of Sunflower.

The first edition of the Sunil Grover and Mukul Chadda-led black comedy was centred on a murder that takes place in a residential building called Sunflower. Sharma, the latest addition to the ZEE5 series, plays bar dancer Rosie. The actor says portraying Rosie gave her a chance to be someone far removed from herself.

"Rosie is funny, scary, sarcastic, sweet, evil, all of it put together. Saying such wicked things and doing things that I'd never do in real life is a little intoxicating," grins Sharma. Understanding Rosie's psyche was a big part of bringing her to life. The actor adds, "To bring her uniqueness to life, I watched documentaries about psychopaths, serial killers and persons with multiple personality disorders. In terms of physical training, I had to learn to break walls with a hammer."
