MUMBAI: Vikram Kochhar and cinematographer and art-production designer Kumari Kuhu gor married on July 12 in Hyderabad. Just two days after, he went to shoot in Lucknow and Kuhu got busy with her shoot in Mumbai.

The Sacred Games actor says, “Shooting for OTT series Chuna was scheduled to start in early July in Mumbai which shifted to mid month in Lucknow. We had a five-day gap between work, so we utilised this opportunity to make a new beginning.”

He says that in this phase, we all need to take things at it come. “As it is, these days everything is done in a small personalised affair, because of which we saved some money (laughs). In the pandemic, everyone had a hard time, and we need to avail all opportunities coming our way; that is why we both resumed work two days after our marriage.”

The actor recalls, earlier he was in a very comfortable situation. “Before pandemic, Sacred Games, Inside Edge and Kesari had started rolling things for me. Then, in early 2020, I shot both Raktanchal and Aashram simultaneously. But lockdown happened, and projects that were lined up one after another went haywire. Thankfully, the shows were well received, and I kept working.”

He has some good projects ready. “I have completed series Cartel and film Om starring Aditya Roy Kapoor. I have shot for Zeishan Quadri’s project tentatively titled Furrey in Ranchi. I will be seen next in Boney Kapoor’s upcoming film Mili starring Janhvi Kapoor, which is a remake of the Malayalam film Helen. Besides, next season of Aashram will also happen soon,” he adds.
