Actor John Kokken spoke about teaming up with Anupam Kher and shared that he was well-prepared before sharing screen space with him in ‘The Freelancer:The Conclusion’. John Kokken, who plays the role of Raghuvendra Setu, said: “One of the things that I have learned in my career as an actor is to do my homework well and prepare the lines.
“I rehearse the lines a couple of times in advance and I memorise the entire scene. Also, considering the fact that I was going to act with Anupam Kher Sir, I had better be prepared. On the day of the shoot, before the take, Anupam Kher Sir and I rehearsed the lines probably at least 10 times in Neeraj Pandey Sir’s presence.”
He added: “Anupam Kher Sir is a phenomenal actor and an amazing co-star to work with, always encouraging his co-actors to bring the best performance out of them.

Actor Mohit Raina had support from the Moroccan army while shooting for the series ‘The Freelancer: The Conclusion’. The action in the show looks real because they actually used real arms and ammunition of the Moroccan army in the series
Talking about the same, Mohit said: “We had support from the Moroccan army as well, they used to supply arms and ammunition to us for the shoot, but only after submitting our passports. Working with an international crew is pretty much like an amalgamation of cultures.”
He added: “There was a little bit of a drawback in terms of communication because they mainly speak French. The cast too brought together people from different nations too.”
The series is based on the book ‘A Ticket to Syria’ by Shirish Thorat, directed by Bhav Dhulia, produced by Friday Storytellers, created by showrunner Neeraj Pandey, directed by Bhav Dhulia and produced by Shital Bhatia.
