Readers would be aware that an intimacy co-ordinator is always a part of the crew as it helps in making intimate scenes look effortless with no awkwardness between the actors. With one such amazing coordinator, Anupriya Goenka revealed that she had an incredible level of comfort with Nishant Dahiya while performing these scenes and hence it has definitely added to the authenticity of the show.

Sharing about how she went about shooting the intimacy scenes for Sultan on Delhi, Anupriya Goenka said, “Nishant and I are very committed actors and we were both comfortable and took the intimate scenes head on. We just knew that we had to do it and give it our best shot so we didn't discuss much about it. There was not much prep that went in the process apart from working on our own characters, sometimes together and sometimes individually. We had an intimacy workshop that really helped us. Aastha was really nice and appreciative. However between Nishant and me there was never awkwardness and we were more focused on the scenes and not being worried about the intimate part of it. He is very comfortable to work with and very collaborative. We would talk and discuss how we wanted to approach a scene and we were always doing it from an emotional or the layered part of the characters. The intimacy part of it came as a byproduct of the story and the other scenes.”

Coming to the show, it is based on the book, Sultan of Delhi: Ascension by Arnab Ray, and is produced by Reliance Entertainment, directed by Milan Luthria, and Co-Directed and Co-written by Suparn Verma. The road to power, a heart-warming friendship and the charm of the 60s, Disney+ Hostar’s upcoming power-packed series, Sultan Of Delhi has it all and it is set to stream on exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar from October 13, 2023 onwards.
