It was important to remind myself that I was chosen to be a part of the film for a reason — my performance," she says. "There was enough space on set to learn and figure things out. And Mahesh Narayanan always does a small rehearsal before filming, which was super helpful for me. No amount of scale can cover up a bad performance so I knew I had to fulfil the role that I was chosen for."Speaking about her character Aysha Iqbal, Zarin said, "My character Aysha Iqbal exists in the emotional space of the protagonist Daniel James. In some ways, she drives the plot forward so there was a lot of scope for performing," she reveals. "She carries herself with intelligence and tradition. That was interesting because you usually tend to view things in a binary, like someone with a liberal education won’t be religious. I liked the fact that she had both sides to herself."'Patriot' follows undercover agents who uncover a large surveillance conspiracy that threatens national security.
