Swara Bhasker talks about sporting short hair for one of her avatars in Aapkey Kamrey Mein Koi Rehta Hai

Swara Bhasker had a busy 2020 with three web series — if she tackled a coming-of-age drama in Rasbhari, Flesh and Bhaag Beanie Bhaag had her attempting a thriller and a romantic comedy respectively. The new year has brought forth a new genre for the actor. She will headline the horror-comedy, Aapke Kamrey Mein Koi Rehta Hai.
Interestingly, the five-part series will see Bhasker sport multiple get-ups — from the modern office-going woman to a geeky look with short hair and thick glasses.
Sharing two of her avatars with mid-day, the actor says, “I wanted to chop my tresses for the short-haired look, but it wasn’t possible as I was shooting for other projects. So, we tried five wigs and different coloured lenses before zeroing in on this [get-up]. There’s a back-story to why my character looks this way.”
Also featuring Sumeet Vyas, Naveen Kasturia, Amol Parashar and Ashish Verma, the MX Player offering revolves around four friends who find a four-bedroom apartment in Mumbai at a measly rent. Their joy, however, is short-lived as they soon realise that the flat is haunted. “Picking roles that belong to varied genres has always been important to me. The idea is to try things you haven’t done before; it keeps your passion for the craft alive,” says Bhasker.

In debutant director Gaurav S Sinha’s film Swara Bhasker takes centrestage as the root cause of four bachelors’ nightmares

Forty-five years ago, Nasir Hussain’s sibling-drama Yaadon Ki Baraat featured a memorable RD Burman compositon called “Aapke Kamre Mein Koi Rehta Hai.” Now, Gaurav S Sinha has borrowed the title of the song for his directorial debut, a horror-comedy featuring Swara Bhasker, Sumeet Vyas, Naveen Kasturia, Amol Parashar and Ashish Verma.
“Our film has nothing to do with the 1973 blackbuster. It’s all about looking for accommodation,” Ashish is quick to point out, adding that Aapkey Kamrey Mein Koi Rehta Hai (the film) follows four bachelors who are looking for a rental accomodation in Mumbai and come across a dream apartment which is big, beautiful and too good to be true.”
Letting the cat out of the bag, Sumeet says, “Swara is our biggest horror.” He however admits that the shoot has been a joyride with a bunch of friends working together.
Gaurav, who has also written the script, began working with art director duo Prerna Kathuria and Ranjit Singh last year to convert an empty office space into a 4000 sq ft four-BHK from scratch for the unit to shoot in.
“It’s a quirky, edgy film. We got the narration together and were convinced with Gaurav’s vision. His sense of humour had us cracking up but at the same time we were a little apprehensive because it’s a hard film to pull off,” Sumeet reveals, while Ashish adds, “Despite all the chills and thrills, the four bachelors never leave each other’s side in the film.”
