Rahul Kohli stars in PlayStation 5 exclusive game Saros
British actor Rahul Kohli plays the lead role of Arjun Devraj in Saros, a PlayStation 5 exclusive action game developed by Housemarque and set for release in 2026. Kohli, known for TV series iZombie and Midnight Mass, began his career selling video games at UK retailer Gamestation. His first acting gigs included commercials for PlayStation Vita and Buzz. Saros is Kohli's first motion capture role, and he describes it as "the purest form of acting." The game follows Housemarque's 2021 title Returnal, which was critically acclaimed but had modest sales. Saros director Gregory Louden says the studio aimed to make the game more approachable while retaining its edge. Kohli's character is an enforcer for the Soltari corporation on a rescue mission to planet Carcosa. The actor's genuine enthusiasm for gaming and his previous voice roles in Call of Duty and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun contributed to his casting.
