Known for his versatile works on Jab We Met, Haider, Padmaavat and Kabir Singh, Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor revealed that he enjoyed working on the web show.

On being asked about working on the show, the actor said, “It is a long-form format; I was excited to see how I can build a character over eight to nine episodes in the first season. We will see what happens after that. But that is very different from playing a character which is two hours and pretty much in one stretch. All those things are exciting. I actually enjoyed myself a lot.”
