Rahul Kohli, known for his roles in iZombie and The Fall of the House of Usher, describes landing the lead role in the upcoming game Saros as a profound personal milestone. The actor, who plays soldier Arjun Devraj in Housemarque’s new action title, shared that this opportunity represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for video games.
In a recent social media post, Kohli reflected on his deep-rooted connection to gaming. His ambition to work in the industry began in childhood; he once presented a compilation of video game trailers to his primary school when asked about future career plans. Early jobs included working at a video game retailer, and one of his initial paid acting roles was featured in a promotional spot for LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation Vita.
Kohli acknowledged that while calling something a “dream come true” might sound like a cliché, in this instance it perfectly captures his feelings. Following his breakout television role, his next significant project was a part in Gears 5, which he believed would be difficult to surpass. Being approached by Housemarque to headline their new IP, however, surpassed all expectations. He expressed immense gratitude to the studio for their trust and described the experience not merely as a career highlight, but as one of the most meaningful moments of his life.
The anticipation for Saros is building, especially among those familiar with Kohli’s compelling performances. Fans of his work can look forward to seeing his portrayal of Arjun Devraj, a soldier investigating a hostile alien planet, when the game launches on PlayStation 5 next March.
