The cast of the show is a mix of veterans and the younger lot of actors and Cyrus says living together is what brought them close. “I spent 20 days living with the cast and everyone was like a bunch of college kids hanging out with each other. We were unruly but we can’t be blamed because everyone was coming out of a year and half of lockdown. We were just excited to see other people. Sometimes you have a wonderful project but the process of making it is traumatizing but thankfully these people became my friends for life. I knew Ira (Dubey) from 'Aisha' but it’s only now that I really got to spend time with her because both of were travelling during the film shoot. Shikha (Talsania) is the person who will go with any joke you have. Harman (Singha) is super fun and I knew him since he’s Rannvijay’s younger brother. Jatin (Sial) sir and Kitu (Gidwani) are great. We share a common love for pickles and camping. Saloni and the kids were great too.”

Starting out with television, followed by movies and now web series Cyrus says the new platform is an exciting space to be in, “The web space has created a more realistic view of life because it has enough time, on the other hand a movie has a short amount of time to tell a story. Web series can build a character because we are telling a story over various episodes. It’s great to see the current crop of OTT content because I’ve always pined to see such shows from my country, with its different languages and dialects. It’s exciting not just for actors but also for writers and technicians.”

No matter what project he takes up Cyrus admits that when fans meet him they always reminisce about his days as a VJ on MTV. “It happens all the time! I do a fun weekly live stream with friends and I’m always getting references, sometimes of shows even I have forgotten. Someone recently sent me a video of one of my characters Bobby Chaddha, which I could never find. I was 18 when I joined MTV and I grew up with that generation. It’s a lot of people’s childhood memories. There was a show I did called Whole in the wall, a fun children’s game show, it had 325 episodes. I can’t believe the number of people I meet who have either been on that show or used to watch it. I spent 10 years with the channel and did some ridiculously strange things-some good some bad. So it will always be close to my heart.”
