The second version of much talked about web series ‘Sacred Games’ has been launched on Netflix recently. And in this second version we find Marathi actress Smita Tambe making her presence felt in the role of a Forensic expert Rama who is assisting Inspector Sartaj Singh in the investigation of nuclear bomb chain.
There is no doubt about the praise Smita has been receiving from the viewers , but what is more important is the compliment she has received from her co star in this series Saif Ali Khan. Speaking about this compliment, Smita says, “I have been a great fan of Saif Ali Khan for past several years. I am working with him for the first time. He is such a nice person who is always friendly with his co stars when not shooting. But, turns serious when in front of camera. During the shooting, he was so impressed with my work that he complimented me saying that I was a very intense actress. And this compliment is very special for me.”
In this series Smita plays the character of Rama who is originally from Vidharbh , Maharashtra and living in Sewree, Mumbai . She joins the Police after the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, so that she could do something for the country. She is expert in decoding the secret messages received from terrorists who are preparing their attack on Mumbai.
Incidentally, Smita Tambe has worked for the first time with director Neeraj Ghaywan. Praising his style of work, Smita says, “He is a different type of director, who does not load the artist much before the scene. In fact, he just explains the scene in brief and allows the artistes to perform in their own way and this helps the artiste to prove his or her mettle.”
