Talented actor Satyadev has spread his wings to Bollywood too. Even before bagging Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu, the actor shot a Hindi film, Habeeb in Afghanistan. While the country is in news for its capture by the Taliban, the country has been witnessing the same turmoil for a long which was faced by actor Satyadev.
Satyadev filmed Habeeb amid death threats in Kabul. Who can forget the twin blast that rocked Afghan Parliament in 2017? In fact, the actor and the crew shot one day before the twin blasts.
The actor at one stage due to his attire was mistaken to be a Taliban. To put doubts to rest for the local police, Indian Embassy had to step in to give surety about their credentials. The actor however feels that despite being risky and life-threatening, it was the passion for cinema that drove him there.
The film Habeeb is the first South Indian and second Indian film to be shot in Kabul. On the work front, Satyadev’s recent offing was Thimmarusu. He then has a string of movies in the lineup like Skylab to Gurthunda Seethakalam.
