‘I Wanted to Explore the Darkness Within a Real-Life Hero’ Prakash Jha on choosing Bobby Deol for ‘Aashram’

The much-anticipated Aashram season 3 part 2 trailer dropped on Wednesday, creating a wave of excitement among fans. The cast and crew gathered for the trailer launch, where director Prakash Jha discussed the journey of the show and what viewers can expect from the third season. He shared how the narrative continues to evolve, with characters like Baba constantly changing, Pammi embarking on a new game, and Ujagar deeply involved in a complex web of events.

 

Speaking about the season, Jha said, “This season will raise many questions and provide answers to several of them. We are all very happy with how this has turned out. The collaboration between Amazon and MX Player made this possible, and it marks the beginning of something monumental for Aashram." He also emphasized that the show is now on a much stronger platform, which made everyone involved even more thrilled about the project.

 

When it came to the casting of Bobby Deol in the lead role, Prakash Jha revealed an interesting behind-the-scenes insight. Jha said, "Casting Bobby for this role was something that only I could see. It's a strange feeling—when you look at Bobby, you see someone who's straightforward, kind, and has a beautiful heart. But if that heart were to turn dark, it would add a whole new level of intrigue to the character. That's why I chose him for this role."

 

He continued, "I wanted to cast a real-life hero and explore the darkness within him. I thought Bobby was perfect for this. There were many other actors considered, but then I thought, ‘Why not ask Bobby? If he's free and willing to do it, it would be fantastic.' It all fell into place."

 

The cast of Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2 features Bobby Deol, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Aaditi Pohankar, Tridha Choudhury, Darshan Kumaar, Sachin Shroff, Anurita Jha, and Rajeev Siddhartha.

 

The series is directed and produced by Prakash Jha, with the script written by the PJP Team, Madhvi Bhatt, Sanjay Masoom, and Avinash Kumar. With Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2 set to release on February 27, 2025, audiences are eagerly awaiting its release.
