Choked: Anurag Kashyap Opens Up On How Casting Saiyami Kher For The Role Of Sarita Was A ‘Big Challenge’

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has opened up on the challenges he faced while casting for the character of Sarita in his latest digital film “Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai”. The role has been essayed by actress Saiyami Kher.

Talking about why casting for Sarita’s character was a “big challenge”, Anurag Kashyap wrote on Instagram: “Casting the role of Sarita was a big challenge for me. The main character of the film, Sarita, is a young housewife and mother who aspires for more than what her current basic life can provide. And her need for money alters the trajectory of her life and that of her family.”

“Playing the role of Sarita is not glamorous or easy. It’s a unique role that has to be delivered in a very organic way. But @saiyami has done such a brilliant job and added such rich color to the film. Don’t miss out on #Choked, now streaming only on @netflix_in #PaisaBoltaHai,” added the filmmaker.
