India, Dec. 28 -- A ctor Rajat Kapoor, who plays the husband of tough cop Meera Deshmukh (Tabu) in the Drishyam franchise, says he doesn't see a defined graph or emotional arc for his character across the two films. While the franchise has become one of Bollywood's biggest suspense thrillers, Kapoor feels his role is more functional than layered. "There's no real emotional journey written for my character," he told Screen, adding, "He's there to support Tabu's character and the narrative, but there isn't an arc in the traditional sense." However, he added that the strength of the script and the ensemble chemistry make the films special. Kapoor also said he values being part of a franchise that continues to engage audiences so strongly. "Not every role has to be transformative. Sometimes you contribute to the world of the film, and that's enough."
