Paper is the story of one of the biggest scams in the country. Streaming on Ullu, the web series will have Roy play a criminal mastermind who mints money by printing fake stamp papers. Directed by Deepak Pandey, the show also stars Parag Tyagi, Manoj Verma, Anang Desai, Kate Sharma, Preeti Soni and Ganesh Yadav among others. Rohit Bose Roy opens up about Paper, getting into the skin of a grey character. It is the story of a young man living in India, and how he goes from being a nariyal pani seller to a criminal mastermind. You will get to see the journey of him finding a loophole in the system and using it to cover up another one, making way for one of the biggest scams in the nation. “My character Abdul is a very real everyday guy. He tries to move ahead in the money game; however, he is never content with what he has.
So apart from the thrill and drama, there is also a life lesson. One has to be happy and content with what they have, or else whatever you have or wherever you reach, there’s always a greed for more. And then there’s no coming back. That’s a great message for all,” says Rohit”. He further says, ” Ullu has still not reached the levels of Netflix or Amazon, but I believe in reverse psychology. If the show is as good as one on these apps, then it will take Ullu to the heights that it deserves. I work in a manner where I give my everything to whatever I am doing. I did Memories, which streamed on Viu, which also has restricted viewership. Even though it was one of the most binge-worthy shows, and received critical acclaim, it did not get viewership. I am sure after Paper, Ullu will take itself a notch higher.”
