Mumbai, March 2 – Actress Sana Makbul is all set to appear in a dark role in an upcoming project titled "Begum Of Crime", and she shared that she has been waiting for a great project to mark her debut in the OTT space.
Sana will be playing the protagonist, Divya, who breaks away from the conventional image of a female lead, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
Speaking about her character, Sana said, "The way OTT has changed the game and is bringing amazing content. I've been waiting for a great project to make my OTT debut, and the story pitched by Hungama OTT sounds fantastic! The title "Begum of Crime" suggests it's about a powerful female lead.
The character leaves her home with a single-minded desire: to build a life on her own terms, no matter the cost. What begins as a desperate attempt to survive soon spirals into a dark journey through theft, manipulation, and even murder.
Divya leaves her home with a determination to become self-made and independent, regardless of the consequences. What starts as a fight for survival gradually pulls her into a dangerous world of deception, theft, manipulation, and even murder.
She added, "As an actor, it was emotionally challenging to step into her psyche because she operates in grey shades. You don't always agree with her, but you understand her motivations or the circumstances that forced her to act that way."
She described her character as "bold, unapologetic, and dangerously determined."
"She believes that if the world refuses to give her respect, she'll take it by any means necessary. That emotional fire is what makes her both powerful and unpredictable. She betrays, steals, and even smuggles, not out of greed, but survival. That emotional fire is what makes her both powerful and dangerously unpredictable," said Sana.
Sana is set to unleash her darkest avatar in Hungama OTT's web series "Begum Of Crime", which will premiere on March 3.
