Eisha Singh, Peter Wilson tease darker layers in 'Obsess', saying, "you will see what happens when rage kicks in"
Mumbai, May 26
Actors Eisha Singh and Peter Wilson opened up about their upcoming psychological thriller 'Obsess', stating that the audience is yet to witness the darkest layers of their story.
Speaking with ANI, Eisha Singh shared, "We just showed you one layer of water. You will see all the fish and sharks under it later. You will get to know it in the movie."
On working with Wilson, Eisha added, "When I used to look into his eyes, I would get that reaction of fear. When such a good actor is present before you, things come out very naturally."
Shedding light on the film, she continued, "The aim of a psychological thriller is to play with your psychology and not to let you get up from your seat. I think Obsess is that kind of film where you feel at every turn, maybe this will happen, or that will happen. In Obsess, you will see what happens when rage kicks in."
Peter Wilson heaped praise on co-star Eisha Singh, highlighting how she portrayed a very challenging character.
"Eisha has acted very well. She has played a very challenging character in it. She has also done a very good job. The main USP of this is casting. That contrast. Just like casting of a devil and an angel. I had to match that chemistry. Isha has played that very well. It is very important to be mentally strong," he said.
The trailer of 'Obsess' is already out, promising an intense blend of psychological drama, road rage, revenge, and emotional chaos.
The gripping trailer opens with Eisha Singh's confident and carefree character crossing paths with a disturbed man battling emotional instability, anger, and deep psychological trauma, played by Peter Wilson.
Obsess is produced by Jagraj Motion Pictures, Rajinder Gill (Peter Wilson) and Jagdish Singh, along with co-producers Amandeep Singh, Rekha Singh, and Sam Bariah.
The film is set to release on May 29.

Interesting cast pairing. Eisha has really grown as an actress since her TV days. Peter's comment about "devil and angel" chemistry makes me think this could be a layered performance from both. But I hope the revenge angle doesn't become too predictable. Need more original content like this instead of remakes!
Honestly, we need more actors like Eisha who push boundaries. Her statement about "playing with your psychology" is exactly what a good psychological thriller should do. That said, I'm a bit skeptical about the May 29 release - hope it doesn't get lost in the summer blockbuster rush. 🎬
The way Peter described Eisha's challenging role - "mentally strong" is key. Playing dark characters can really take a toll. Hope she took care of herself during filming. The trailer showed some intense road rage scenes that felt very real. Definitely booking my tickets for opening weekend! 🍿
I appreciate the ambition, but I hope 'Obsess' isn't just another film about "angry man loses control" with a female character reacting to him. Eisha's character seems confident and carefree initially - I hope she has real agency. Psychological thrillers work best when every character has depth. Fingers crossed!
Love that Peter Wilson is pushing himself beyond action roles. That devil and angel contrast in casting sounds refreshing. And Eisha's water/shark analogy is brilliantly simple - in Indian cinema, we need more metaphors like that when describing layered storytelling. Hope the music matches the intensity!
