CAT: Randeep Hooda, Hasleen Kaur and Suvinder Vicky Talk About Their Bond On and Off the Screen

CAT, starring Randeep Hooda with his starry series debut is set to be released on Netflix, next week. With the release of some spectacular movies and series in 2022, the time has flown by rather quickly. And, although December is here and the year is coming to an end, access to entertaining content never will! After all, Netflix is the gift that keeps on giving! So, what’s new?

This time around, the leading streaming service is geared up for the release of its all-new high-voltage crime-thriller series – CAT, where Randeep Hooda will be taking centre stage as a police informant Gurnaam Singh.

As a series based on relationships, love, family, sacrifices and more, CAT showcases Gurnaam Singh’s journey, a devoted son and brother who gets plunged into the underbelly of power, politics and a web of lies after he sees his drug-addict brother suffering.

Bringing a host of talented actors such as former Miss India Earth Hasleen Kaur and veteran Punjabi actor Suvinder Vicky among others, the show not only displayed their reel relationships beautifully but also deepened their friendships off-screen.

That’s not it! For their roles, Randeep and his co-stars – Hasleen and Suvinder were also required to converse and deliver dialogues in Punjabi. To ensure that they portrayed Punjab in the most authentic manner, the actors often turned to each other for support and encouragement, rehearsing their dialogues in local accents together.

Speaking about his experience while working with the cast and playing Sehtab Singh, Suvinder Vicky says, “As an actor, forming a bond off-screen is a vital part of creating chemistry between characters on-screen. During CAT, Hasleen, Randeep and I were constantly leaning on each other to discuss our characters’ graphs and bring the fluidity of the Punjabi dialect on-screen. Randeep never shied away when he needed help with a dialogue and how to approach it, which I believe is a beautiful quality as an actor. In fact, he was the first one to break the ice with me when he took Danish Sood (Sunny) and me for a film one evening. These experiences that we had with each other truly
helped us translate our real bonds into reel moments.”

Hasleen Kaur also expressed how her bond with the cast helped her effortlessly slip into her character as a headstrong Punjabi woman-cop called Babita. She said, “As a character, Babita is extremely honest and sincere, which are characteristics I can deeply resonate with. Babita’s innate eagerness to do her work with utmost honesty is something she and I have in common. Not to mention, sharing screen space with an actor as refined and committed to his craft as Randeep sir has been a rewarding experience. As part of our preparations, we constantly and consciously chose to converse in Punjabi to fine-tune our dialect and the nuances that come with it. While working with him and learning his creative process, I can proudly say I have come out to be a better actor than I was before.”
