Asaya, who played Boro, spoke about how he was able to interpret the role and the challenges he faced.
“For my character after reading the script, I felt that this was a man who was broken and who is in a way passing through life just like everybody else and trying to overcome those challenges,” he said.
“I did not face many challenges but it was hard trying to be angry most of the time. Because the character of Boro was a total mess all the time.”
‘Kill Boro’ will premiere on March 30.
