A fictional character every now and then acquires real-life overtones, eclipsing the star enacting the role on TV or cinema. Something like that happened in Kenya with the Sacred Games crew which managed to access a location thanks primarily to 'Ganesh Gaitonde'.
The gangster-philosopher, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the first season of the Netflix drama and also in the second that drops down on Thursday, opened doors for the team in far away Kenya, said the show's lead writer Varun Grover.
