Playing a politico is empowering: Aabid Bhushan

Aabid Bhushan,  the grandson of late legendary actor Nagabhushan, who has played important roles in some films, was seen in an impactful role in the political thriller Sasanasabha.

“I play a candidate contesting Assembly elections who has unique ideologies for changing the society,” says Aabid, adding that the film also creates awareness about exercising one’s franchise.

Aabid says he watched footage of various politicians and noted their style of dressing and body language during election campaigns to prepare for the part.

The film’s director Venu Madikanti and producer Shanmugam Sappani chose Aabid on the basis of his looks and earlier performances.
