The reason for the Spanish actor’s visit to India remains unclear but a paparazzo claims it could be for filming some professional assignment. Not many know that Herran, who plays the young hacker in the popular Netflix series Money Heist, has also been featured in an Indian advertisement. Back in 2015, he shared the screen space with actress Pia Bajpai for a romantic commercial for the song-streaming application Gaana. The video captured the lead as strangers bonding over music during a metro ride.

Reportedly, Herran’s professional career in the Spanish film industry began owing to a random encounter with filmmaker Daniel Guzman on the streets of Malaga. He auditioned for the director’s film Nothin In Return for which he also bagged a Goya Award. He rose to global fame for essaying the character of Tokyo’s boyfriend and the hacker of the team Anibal Cortes aka Rio in Money Heist.

Besides Money Heist, Herran is also known for playing Christian Varela Exposito, a transfer student in the teen drama Elite. He last starred in Alberto Rodriguez’s historical thriller drama Prison 77, which ended up bagging a whopping 16 nominations at the 37th Goya Awards. Also starring Javier Gutierrez, the movie which was set against the backdrop of 1970s Barcelona’s Modelo Prison, was based on the real-life prison break attempted by 45 inmates.
