Nimrat’s lonely b’day in Vancouver
Nimrat Kaur has begun filming for the second season of M Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines, and informs that the first-day shoot was with Jason Patric whose wife she plays. “Jason is a sweet guy, a bit reserved but our work aesthetics are the same.
The shoot was in Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital which used to be an institution and has an eerie, haunted feel. Luckily, it was a day shoot because such locations terrify me. I kept chanting the Hanuman Chalisa in my vanity van,” she admits. In the scene Jason’s character is unaware of their whereabouts, only her character knows where they are and this lends it an intense, mysterious feel. “It’s a futuristic show. What I like best about my character is that she could be from anywhere, there’s no mention of ethnicity. It’s colour blind casting,” Nimrat points out. The actress who turned 34 on Sunday admits to feeling homesick already. Speaking to Mirror from Vancourver she says, “It has been raining heavily since I landed here. I’m looking for an apartment so I was house-hunting even on my birthday. This is the first time I’m ringing it in away from my family and friends and it’s, well different. But I can’t wait to explore the Surrey part of Vancouver where there are lots of Indians, I’ve heard you get amazing chhole bhature there and I really miss desi khana.”
Nimrat will be in Vancouver for a couple of months since she’s signed up for season two and three. Meanwhile there’s a Bollywood script which she likes. “But whether I can take it up or not will depend on my show’s schedule. I want to move away from serious stuff and do a comedy next. That should be fun.”
