Talking about Saif’s take on this he said, “ ‘The Bridge’ is actually something that I was actively looking to produce. So I went looking for it.” Rishi Negi, the CEO of the Endemol Shine India said, “We’ve been evaluating the show for a long time, and for us, when we look at the male protagonist, whether you look at Martin, or you look at any other characterization that’s happened, I think Saif was the perfect fit, because he brings in the charm, he can turn the edginess in a quick moment onto the character.”
Negi further added, “On the other side, you have a character who’s opposite, very singular in approach, very un-empathetic, without any human emotions, and he [Saif] brings all the emotions into this partnership between the two.”
Talking about the original show, it starts with a dead body found on the border of two countries. In respect to solving the crime, a joint investigation takes place by both the regional forces. It is still not decided who is going to play the role opposite Saif Ali Khan. also whether the Indian adaption of the series will be shot on the border of India and any neighbouring country or the border of any two Indian states.
