Bollywood actor Shahab Ali featured in a recently released OTT series and is currently basking in the success of the same. The series also features Manoj Bajpyee in a lead role. Shahab has also worked with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 'Kedarnath' and in a recent interview with Times Now Digital he opened about his experience of working with SSR. He said, 'My experience with Sushant was amazing. Because I remember I did not have a scene with him but still he asked me to come and rehearse with him. I said 'Arey but I do not have a scene with you, it's a flashback scene bacche ke saath hai mera'. He said ya but I have to speak those lines in a scene with Sara. So I want to listen to those lines, because agar mere father mujhe bachpan mein bolte the vo line toh abhi mere father film mein kaise bol rahe hai vaise hi main use memory launga. So I was so impressed by the way he was so dedicated towards his work that even if we didn't have a scene together, he rehearsed with me. He was so enthusiastic about it and I got really impressed by it. It is really sad that he is not with us anymore but he was amazing.' The actor mentioned that he used to watch and observe him during the shoot and he found Sushant's performance to be mind blowing. 'It was difficult to shoot in Kedarnath because he was playing that pithoo ka character. So vo basket leke mein ek insaan ko bithake slop par aap chadh rahe ho lagatar, you are giving so many retakes, 10-12 retakes if you are giving, you are physically exhausted but he used to do it with so much passion. He was really good. ' On a concluding note, Shahab said his overall experience working on 'Kedarnath' was just okay because he did not have a big part. He said, 'However, I was excited about that film because they told me they were shooting in 'Kedarnath' only. So I was like 'Kedarnarth' jaane milega, isse zyada positive aur shubh chiz nahi ho sakti. Bas I thought of that and the fact Sushant was there (in the film), ye do cheeze thi mere liye aur kuch nahi tha.'
