How did the part in Akela come about? The
producers came to me with the idea about a year ago, but since I was
involved in shooting for two films, I couldn't take it up. A year later
when I did a cameo on the series CID, the producers again came to me,
but this time they brought the script as well. I was completely bowled
over by it and it all took off.
Sometime ago you had said that you were never going to do TV again, what made you change your mind? My
basic problem was with saas-bahu serials, which were not the type of
shows that I wanted to do. The problem was that most of the shows on TV
had become very stale and thus, I decided to stay away. But, when I was
approached for Akela, I accepted because this was a very different show
with a very interesting subject. How do you see this show affecting your career? The
effect can only be positive. I'm looking at this as a chance to work
with very professional and competent people, who will help me grow as
an actor. The show includes everything from action to comedy and will
surely help me in my range.
All the hoardings of Akela around Mumbai seem to focus on your green eyes. What is the significance of that? The green is to emphasise the supernatural element of the show.
What are your plans for the future? I'm
busy with Akela for the next four months, after which I will be working
in Sanjay Gupta's Alibaug where I have a very meaty role.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT 😆
