Rahul Kohli Joins Us for a Chat About Saros! – Inside Games Daily

In this special episode of Inside Games Daily, host Bruce Green and Lawrence welcome video game and film star Rahul Kohli to discuss his role in the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive game *Saros*. Kohli shares the surreal journey of being invited to voice and perform motion capture for Arjun, the game’s protagonist, after Housemarque used his image from *Midnight Mass* in early concept art. He reflects on the unique challenges of acting in a roguelike game, where performance must support gameplay above all, and admits he initially overacted in a grounded, cinematic style—later re-recording his lines to match the game’s high-octane, action-driven tone. Kohli also discusses the emotional weight of seeing himself front-and-center on the game’s box art, a rare representation for someone of his background in Western media. He praises the purity of performance capture, likening it to childhood make-believe, and credits mentors like Troy Baker and Nolan North for guiding him through the process. The conversation touches on his playlist for Arjun, the game’s satisfying core mechanics, and his personal take on Arjun as a deliberately unlikeable, angry character. The episode ends with a heartfelt tribute to the hosts as family and a plug for Kohli’s upcoming Twitch subathon to benefit Doctors Without Borders.
