Apart from the fabulous script, we have a stellar ensemble cast & technicians with a strong body of work in films and television. I keep on getting lot of offers for television but I did not want to opt for something run-of-the-mill because as an actor what matters to me is the graph of my character and the impact it has on the viewers. When I was narrated the role of a commissioner, I agreed instantly. The show is set in an era which as an actor I haven't explored before. My role of K.M Dayal is a smart thinker & a tactical person, who with the deft use of his mind, tries to control the dynamics of the underworld."

On being asked whether he would do a daily soap, the talented actor shares, "I am open to working in any medium as long as the character is challenging and I am able to devote enough time to do the justice to the role."
