Anup will essay on the role of a man named Dilip.
Talking about her OTT debut and challenges in OTT, actress Anjana Sukhani said, “Yes, like I said that it’s my debut in OTT. An actor’s job is to act so the process is internal & everything else is just frills, and fancy around us. But no, there was no difficulty at all.”
“The only thing is the platform changes from a big screen to an OTT platform but nothing else changes for an actor. I feel OTT has given an unbelievable amount of recognition and acknowledgment to actors who have waited in lines for a very long time to grab that attention. The reach of the OTT platform is way far beyond that of Cinema and I am nothing but grateful for that,” the actress further added.
Further explaining the script she added, “In the rut of so much crime & such dark shows coming in I think this is like a breath of fresh air, it’s just the simplicity of it that attracted the most. I am a huge fan of the director Apoorva Karti and TVF; they have churned beautiful, simple, and relatable shows on everyday life and this is just another gem in the crown. I am super happy & excited about my part in the show and my debut is with TVF & ZEE5.”
