Talking to News 18 Showsha about securing the role of Zoravar in 'Heeramandi', Adhyayan Suman said, “At one o’clock in the afternoon, I was told that Mr. Bhansali would be seeing my audition at three. Somehow, I managed to stop the car in the middle of the mountains and made an audition clip sitting in the car,” he recalled.

Adhyayan Suman added, “I begged, borrowed, and stole some network from people and sent the tape. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the role. To be honest, if I had auditioned and not gotten the part in any other filmmaker’s film or series, I would just let it pass. But this was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s show and it’s every actor’s dream to work with him. So, I was extremely disappointed that it didn’t work out for me.”

The actor, talking about what he has learned from his father who has had his golden days, said, “My father always tells me that if something is meant to be, it will be, and nobody can snatch anything away that’s destined to happen. The shoot of 'Heeramandi' started with the other characters. Two days before they were supposed to start the shoot with the actor who was supposed to play Zorawar, he was suddenly asked to leave and I was brought in. It’s just outstanding how it all happened.”
