In the web series, Paper, Rohit plays the central role of Telgi. "I think after the successful run of Scam 1992, people will definitely watch Paper. Scam 1992 is based on a real incident and a real character, but while making our show, we have taken inspiration from real incidents and created a fictional world," said Rohit to IANS.

He added, "Both shows are set in the same era and, in fact, there is a reference of Harshad Mehta in our show. Having said that, I don't think the two shows have any similarities. I know that people will make comparisons but I hope that we would live up to audience expectations. I have been working in this industry for the last 25 years and this is the first time I am very much confident that people will like my work."

Paper also features Kate Sharma who plays the role of Telgi's lady love, besides Parag Tyagi, who plays a police officer. "The makers narrated a one-liner about the project and I liked it, so I instantly said yes. The thought process behind the show is extremely exciting. I would say that I had a very pleasant experience working on Paper. I am excited for this show and I feel I am making my debut all over again. If I fail at this then I know that I would not get the opportunity to play such characters again," he said of his role in the show that will stream on Ullu app.
