State Of Siege: 26/11 Actor Mukul Dev Opens Up On His Passion For Writing

Actor Mukul Dev is receiving a lot of praise for his performance as a terrorist mastermind in the web series “State Of Siege: 26/11“. He is also the man who penned the story of the Rajkummar Rao-starrer “Omerta” that released in 2018. Mukul says he does not feel the pressure of finding a balance between the two callings, as writing is just a “passion”.

“I am an actor who also writes. I love reading so I read a lot of books. The interest in writing has developed recently. When I was writing the story of ‘Omerta‘ I was not writing it to make a film or something. But when a filmmaker like Hansal Mehta picked up my story and turned it into a film, I thought that now I can consider myself as a legitimate writer. Having said that I am an actor and I will remain that. Writing is a little box of interest that I take out once in a while,” Mukul Dev told IANS.

“State Of Siege: 26/11“, directed by Matthew Leutwyler, has Mukul playing Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. The show also features Arjan Bajwa, Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya, Sid Makkar, Tara Alisha Berry, Khalida Jaan, Jyoti Gauba, Roshni Sahota, Suzanne Bernert, Naren Kumar and Jason Shah.
