Furthermore, the series shot in Galle, in Srilanka over three months. It has an ensemble cast of powerhouse British actors like Amanda Redman,  James Floyd, Neil Morrisey, Amrita Acharya, Nimmi Harasgama and Indian actors Darshan Jariwala, Sayani etc.

On her experience throughout the series, Sayani shares, “They chose me for this after a couple of auditions by Sehar Latif. This was one of the most gratifying and heartbreaking characters I played so far. The British cast and crew along with the Srilankan crew were absolutely incredible. And to be doing most of my scenes with the terrific Amanda Redman and Nimmi Harasgama was unbelievably educational actually. I learnt so much on that set.”

“We had two directors Philip John & John Mckay who were both so uniquely brilliant,” Sayani continued. “I underwent 17 stages of acid attack and surgical prosthetics and Davy Jones, a BAFTA winner prosthetics genius and Abby did some groundbreaking work on me. Graham Frame who is one of the most senior and respected cinematographers from Britain shot the show. I learnt a great deal from him as well and we had a beautiful equation. Tiger aspects are the producers and Trevor and Rosemary took such good care of us.”
