Stepping into the enigmatic role of Durga in Sony LIV’s high-stakes thriller Adrishyam 2 – The Invisible Heroes was no easy feat for Pooja Gor. The actress underwent rigorous training to bring her complex, morally ambiguous character to life, both physically and mentally. From mastering action sequences to delving deep into Durga’s intricate psyche, Pooja pushed herself beyond her limits to do justice to the role.
Talking about the role, she said, “Action sequences were entirely new to me, and while the physical training was intense, it was the mental discipline that truly tested me. I even trained in handling weapons, which was exhilarating, but what surprised me most was the importance of breath control, it was crucial for executing complex scenes. What intrigued me most about Durga was her moral ambiguity; she isn’t just good or bad. Her mystique pulled me in. I built her inner world, her fears, beliefs, and the cost of distrust, to fully embody her. While the physical training mattered, the real challenge was letting her take over my mind. I focused on her psyche, the weight of her hidden responsibilities.”
