"I am also one of them who did not give up. Whenever there was an emotional breakdown, my family, my childhood friends and also friends I made in Mumbai held my hand. That is why I did not get into the destructive path that many youngsters do. Every rejection, every criticism made me stronger, these were my classes for character building. I became the man I am today -- confident, secure, dedicated to my profession as well as towards my family," he continued.

"Mumbai has shown me the hardest time as well as offered me success. I found my love, my wife and together we created the family we are. Yes, it is a city of dreams and dreamers. You are an achiever if you are ready to face a hard time!" added the actor.

"I think the character of Bhaskar Shetty is very relatable and engaging because it is a zero to hero story. It has drama, action and that is why though we have seen so many cop drama action films and shows before, this is a story worth telling," said the actor.

"The character of Shetty has a transformation that happens after he has success and gains power through hard work. In a conversation, he says he wants to look good and he wants his pictures to come in newspapers. His ambition is to become so successful so that one day a biopic will be made on his life! That is childish but humane. That is how real Bhaskar Shetty is!" he added about his role in in the series that streams on ALTBalaji and ZEE5.
