ALTBalaji's
web series have certainly changed the era of digital entertainment upon
entering it. One such show titled, The Test Case, that is touted to follow the
suit, has just concluded its shooting schedule. Having garnered a remarkable
response to its first episode, the show has left the digital audience in the
middle of intrigue.
About
Shikha Sharma (essayed by Nimrat Kaur), preparing to be the first woman test
case in a combat role, within the Indian Army, the series explores the themes
of loyalty, team work and courage, while also showcasing hardships and immense
training army officers undergo to serve and protect their country.
The
inspirational show streamed its first episode in April this year. Because of
monsoon, the shooting was rescheduled. But more than making up for the lost
time, the makers shot the rest of the series at a breakneck speed and wrapped
it up recently.
Talking
about her sentiments on the same, Nimrat says, "Shooting for The Test Case
has easily been the most rewarding and challenging experience, while being an
unpredictable one. As a child, I always dreamt of being an army officer until I
realised how difficult it is. It never quite felt like I was playing a part, it
was almost like a fantasy. We've had some of the most toughest times on the
schedule and have become more than a family. I will miss being on the set. I
have personally been attached to this for more than a year now. It hasn't sunk
in yet that it's over. It's not going to be easy to let go of this whole
routine and lifestyle that I took on, to prepare for my role as Captain Shikha
Sharma. I can't wait for people to watch what we have put together, literally
with our blood, sweat and tears."
On
being asked about plans to party post wrapping up the shoot, the actress
informed, "We haven't made any plans but I hope to make lots of plans with
everyone so that we can all just chill and have an easy day without having to
chase light or come back from a lunch break or just go crazy because we are
trying to meet deadlines all the time. I just want to sit down with the team
have a laugh, have fun, have a great meal, dance, party and basically just let
my hair down."
Directed
by Vinay Waikul, featuring Nimrat Kaur, Atul Kulkarni, Rahul Dev, Manit
Jouraand, Akshay Oberoi in lead roles along with Juhi Chawla in a guest
appearance, episodes of The Test Case will be streaming on ALTBalaji’s app on
the 26th January 2018.
