Team poses for the media at the Launch of Maharakshak Devi

Actor Rohit Bakshi, will be seen on television after a long time with Zee TV's Maharakshak Devi. In conversation with us, he talks about the reason of doing this show, challenges he has faced while shooting for this and more...

I am essaying a double role - Being in the industry, I have worked a lot but I have never done such kind of a role earlier. I will be essaying a double role on the show. While one is of Bhraspati, the other one which is an human. The character of Bhraspati is very strong, he is a mentor and protector. Gauri (Umang Jain), is raised by him and he makes her realize about the superpowers and reason behind her existence.

The trend of series gives a creative satisfaction - I feel that such kind of series gives creative satisfaction to an actor, he doesn't get stuck to one thing. I really feel that we are trying to show something new to the audience.

My character is physically taxing - As I said, I am doing double role so it becomes very necessary that my two different characters look distinct on screen. I will be doing a lot of physical activities which is exciting as well as difficult at times.

I was looking for a strong project -There is no specific reason of not taking up any project. It's not that I was on a sabbatical, I was looking best thing for me.

People will like different thing which we are going to offer - I just want to say that we are coming with different and a fresh show. I am sure people are going to like this.

We wish Rohit all the best for his new show!
