Pakistani actor Ahad Raza Mir made a splash with his portrayal of Arjun Batra in Netflix’s new\u00a0<\/span>Resident Evil<\/span><\/em>\u00a0series. Between his on-screen romance and efforts to save what is left of humanity, the Pakastani actor delighted fans with scene-stealing performances. He trended hard on Twitter, ranking as high as the number one search for days afterwards. The actor sat down for an exclusive interview with\u00a0<\/span>GRAZIA <\/span><\/em>to discuss the inner workings of his character, his thoughts on the show, and what he hopes for it in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Were you familiar with the\u00a0<\/span>Resident Evil<\/span><\/em>\u00a0game before working on this show?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahad Raza Mir: I have played the game since I was a kid. I\u2019ve seen all the films too, so it was a really exciting moment for me to be part of something I followed for a while\u2013to be part of that and part of the things that the fans follow and fancy and to be part of a new rendition of this very well-known world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was there anything in the script that surprised you?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

ARM: Yes, a lot of things surprised me because, I went into this with a certain expectation of what I\u2019d be getting with a\u00a0<\/span>Resident Evil<\/span><\/em>-based story because when you play the games, or when you watch the films, you know what you are getting into and what to expect. Still, while reading this script, I realised that our show\u2019s showrunner Andrew Dabb and the writers and creative team have managed to execute such a difficult task of making this story more emotionally driven, so well. They have also turned many things on their head, making it more suspenseful to elevate the story.<\/span><\/p>\n
