"About last night. Or was it night before last. I¡¯ve lost track of time on this absolutely fantastic week in #SanFrancisco Lucy and I at the premier of #thematrixresurrections so happy to be a part of #TheMatrix movies. Never imagined this would have been possible when i was first blown away by it in 1999!", wrote Kohli on social media after he attended the premiere of the film in San Fransico.
If you are excited to know what role he is playing, reportedly, he will essay the role of a game developer who works with Keanu's character. Furthermore, Kohli has previously worked with Matrix director Lana Wachowski on the Netflix series Sense8. He had to audition twice for this character as the casting directors lost the original tape.
Purab Kohli is excited to feature in the film that had a massive effect on him. It was no less than a dream come true.
"It has not sunk in yet. When I watched The Matrix (1999) in theatres, I was like, ¡®What was that film!¡¯ I was just starting off as a TV actor then. So, being part (of the franchise) was something I had never imagined in my wildest dreams," he told Mid-Day.
