Chapter 3: A Stranger in the Spotlight
"Hey you! Extra ho kya?"
Arjun turned. A production assistant pointed at him. "Come here! We need one more guy in the background."
"Me?"
"Yes, you! Jaldi!"
Before he could refuse, Arjun was pushed onto the set.
"Just stand there and look scared when sir shouts, okay?"
"Sir?"
The assistant rolled his eyes. "Arre, hero! Don't you know who he is?"
Arjun didn't answer.
Because he was too busy staring.
The actor walked toward him, wiping sweat from his face, his presence almost unreal.
For a brief moment, their eyes met.
And something strange happened.
The actor frowned.
"Have we met before?" he asked.
Arjun's breath caught.
"No… I don't think so."
But the actor didn't look convinced.
"Strange," he murmured. "You feel… familiar."
Before Arjun could respond, the director yelled, "Ready for next take!"
The moment broke.
But Arjun couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't just coincidence.
Something deeper was at play.
