Discussing his digital debut with the media on Friday, Aditya Roy Kapur said that his character Shaan Sengupta has a lot of good traits. "He stands up for principle, I would imagine he is punctual and he has a big heart.”

He added, "When the opportunity arose, I was really excited by the chance to work on this particular piece. It felt like I saw the original (starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie) and I loved it. And I loved what Sandeep (Modi) and the writers had done with it and honestly, it is a dream role for an actor. There's so much scope to put a lot of things in this role. So, for me, it was a no-brainer to just jump in.”

The series features eclectic talent including Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee, and Ravi Behl. It premieres on Disney+ Hotstar on February 17, 2023.
