Mohit will be seen playing the role of a soldier who is ready to go any extent to protect his land.
“It is very exciting to be in a period drama like ’21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897′. Period dramas have their own challenges. One must work hard to ensure that you don’t just embrace the character you are playing, you also have to understand the smaller nuances of the period to deliver an authentic experience,” Mohit said.
“For Ishar Singh the only thing mattered was his duty, service. The utmost priority was to serve the nation at any cost and be true to his people. A story of a common man turning into a savour during difficult times, an extraordinary story of an ordinary person drove me towards it,” he added.
Mohit is best known for mythological show Devon Ke Dev Mahadev.
