I empathise with Charles Sobhraj: Randeep

Actor Randeep Hooda, who plays the role of Charles Sobhraj in his next film, says he empathised with the serial killer but did not feel sorry for him. "Main Aur Charles", a thriller drama, is inspired by true events and told from the perspective of renowned Indian cop, Amod Kanth, who handled the case of notorious serial killer Charles Sobhraj. "I empathise with him... How you can you play a character without empathising with it. I did not feel sorry for him at all. I think he knows what he is doing. It is strange as I feel he is around and understands what I am doing. So that is the kind of omnipresence this character has," Randeep told reporters here at the trailer launch of "Main Aur Charles". The 39-year-old actor says he would like to show the film to Amod Kanth. "We got exclusive (material) so we did not want to disturb them (Charles'family). Our whole thing comes from the charge sheet that was filed and the research we did," Randeep said. "We got all the information from Amod Kanth as this is his account of the jail break of Sobhraj. I would like to personally make Kanth watch the film so that we can show how accurate it is," he said.
