Rasika Dugal: It felt surreal to journey overseas after two years | Web Series

Having shot in India for probably the most a part of the final two years of the pandemic, actor Rasika Dugal was excited to fly to the UK for the shoot of her subsequent mission.

The Mirzapur actor has been taking pictures within the outskirts of London for Lord Curzon Ki Haveli co-starring Arjun Mathur. Happy to discover the outside overseas, Dugal is worked up that this shoot marks her first post-pandemic work journey overseas. Sharing her pleasure, Dugal says, “It almost felt surreal to travel outside the country after two years. At first I was very apprehensive as I was nervous about the virus, but once we were there and everyone in the unit had tested negative, I was so much more relaxed.”

The actor shot within the lovely Broughton property set within the Yorkshire Dales which has sprawling meadows, moorlands and meandering rivers, which reminded her “of the world of Enid Blyton’s books” whereas she gorged on scones and went for morning walks within the scenic nation. She elaborates, “Since we were in an estate which was four hours from London and 15 minutes from the closest town (Skipton) it felt even safer. A few days into the trip and I truly realised how much I had missed travelling. There were five actors in the film and all of us lived in a cosy little cottage with five rooms. There were many fun conversations around the kitchen counter before shoot and after pack up. We joked that this felt like we were in hostel again!” She shot in Ooty, Tamil Nadu and Palampur, Himachal Pradesh for 2 different initiatives and admits each countryside has its attraction.
