The series is based on the book – ‘A Ticket to Syria’ by Shirish Thorat. It is directed by Bhav Dhulia, produced by Friday Storytellers and Neeraj Pandey is the creator and showrunner. The book attempts to share the story about the insidious operations of the Islamic State, and how the terror group has perfected a cross-country operation that converts thousands to a depraved cause.
While season 1 of the series was left on a cliff-hanger, now, the series has come back with the second season, The Freelancer – The Conclusion. The series shows how Avinash finally goes for an extraction mission and saves Aleeya from danger.

You have not done many exposing scenes. Do you refrain from it? What’s your opinion about it?
To this, Manjari Fadnnis said that she has no problem in doing such roles but she was never approached for it. Stating her opinion about it, she said that being an actor, she doesn’t have the luxury of having inhibitions and she doesn’t. She has no problem in playing a particular character if there needs to be some kind of an exposure because it is important for the role. She added that she has no problem in exposing or doing bold scenes but it has be something important in the script.
There’s no regulation on OTT for violence and nudity. What you think about it?
To this, Manjari Fadnnis said that it depends on what script it is because in a series like Mirzapur, where things are shown in a realistic manner, violence does happen. So the makers should be true to the script and the project that they are making.
