Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is set to appear in the upcoming show Steal. During promotions for the series, the actress, best known for her portrayal of Sansa Stark, expressed her interest in being a part of a Bollywood film and spoke fondly about Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.
During an interview with Firstpost, the actress was asked about whether she follows Indian cinema, to which she responded, “That’s tough but Shah Rukh Khan is the GOAT. I love Deepika Padukone. She is amazing. I loved watching RRR. I would love to be a part of a Bollywood movie. I would love to be a part of the song and dance. It’s such a spectacle. It is unlike anything we will ever see on a western film set.”
Talking of her series Steal, it follows an ordinary office worker, Zara (Sophie) who finds herself at the heart of the heist. A typical workday at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force Zara and her best mate Luke (Archie Madekwe) to execute their demands. But who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) is determined to find out, but as a recently relapsed gambling addict, Rhys must keep his own money problems at bay while dealing with the secret agendas and competing interests at the Centre of this far-reaching crime.
Talking about the preparation for the show, she shared, “That’s a great question, but unfortunately, my answer is- Not much preparation. Everything was there in the script for us. The story is not about the work that they do, it’s about the heist they get caught up in. I listen to crime podcasts all the time, so it seems I have been preparing all my life.”
Steal will be released on January 21 on Prime Video.
