Shooting action sequences is indeed the most challenging aspect for any show. Creator & Showrunner Neeraj Pandey, had a magnificent team on board for The Freelancer.
Talking about this, Creator & Showrunner Neeraj Pandey said, “We had an Indian and international crew working hand in hand. In the action team, a french guy Jerome was leading it and he was working very closely with Abbas Bhai, who handled our action in India. We also took a lot of inputs from Shirish Thorat in the combat sequences, because there is so much action and we didn’t want to get any details wrong”
