Amit Sial is being lauded for his performance in The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case. The actor, who plays the lead investigation officer on the show, believes that the series, out on SonyLIV (can be streamed via OTTplay Premium subscription), is quite important for Gen Z. While he might be right in stating that it is important for Gen Z, is he really right with his reasoning? Here's what the actor said...
Why Amit Sial feels The Hunt is important for Gen Z
During his interview with Firstpost, Amit Sial confessed he was aware of the case because he was already 16 years old when it happened. He, however, feels that might not be the case with Gen Z because they might not know about the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case as much. "It’s a very important series for especially Gen-Z because a lot of them would probably not know about this incident, and, I hope it’s an eye opener for them also," the actor shared.
Is Amit Sial right about Gen Z?
In times of AI and the feeling of patriotism at peak, the next generation is almost updated about every information that is available. Although they might not be aware of the finer details of the case, it is unlikely that Gen Z would not know about Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and the story behind it. For the details on how the case might have been led, the series is now available on SonyLIV via OTTplay Premium.
What Amit Sial took back from his time on The Hunt
When posed with the question of what Amit Sial took back after working on the series, the actor mentioned, "I think about the unpredictability of life and the kind of consequences politics might have, on one’s life."
