Beyhadh 2 actor Shivin Narang's recently released web film, Dheet Patangey, has been received well by the critics as well as viewers. It is streaming live on a popular OTT platform. Shivin, in particular, has been lauded for his fine performance in the film, which is set against the backdrop of Indian Cricket Team's 1983 World Cup Win. The actor was offered this film about two to three years ago when he was looking out to debut with a Bollywood film. Surprisingly, Shivin had initially refused to hear the script of Dheet Patangey as it was about four friends. Another reason why Shivin Narang did not wish to hear the script of this film will leave you surprised.

In an exclusive interview with us, the actor revealed the same reason by saying that he was looking out for a grand Bollywood debut instead of a web-film. "Two to three years back I was looking for a good script. So I just met Ravi Adhikari, who is the director of our film. I got to know that he is making a film about friends, so I was very clear and told Ravi that I am not looking for the script about friends and all," he said.

Explaining the reason in detail, he further added, "I wanted to do a Bollywood film after television. I wanted to do something solo and something which is a love story, like a typical commercial film with a good launch. Since it is first, the launch should be like that as that's what I believed in. Three years ago, I had a different mentality."

Further, revealing how he finally decided to do Dheet Patangey, Shivin said, "I got to know about this project and Ravi told me to rethink. So, when I went for narration, I remember when Ravi narrated the film, I said I don't know about anything else but I want to do this (Dheet Patangey)."
