Remembered for his portrayal of a terrorist Zahoor Hussain in Haider (2014), Ashwath plays Mehboob Syed, the elder brother of Vicky Kaushal’s character in the Alia Bhatt-starrer. Actor Ashwath Bhatt with Irrfan while shooting for Haider (2014). So, was working with Meghna one of the reasons that Ashwath agreed to be part of Raazi? After Haider, which I did because I had been a great fan of filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj’s work, I was offered dozens of terrorist roles. In Raazi, however, Ashwath agreed to play an officer from the Pakistani forces.
