Talking about his venture into the over-the-top (OTT) space, Raaj Shaandilyaa said: “This is my first collaboration with Jio Studios and also my debut in the OTT world. With so many crime and thriller shows being made, I really felt that there should be a comedy show mounted as big as a Bollywood movie.
“The team at Jio Studios backed my vision and the collaboration has been great so far. Our aim is to change the trend and give the audience an entertaining ride.”
The man who is ruling the space of OTT, Abhishek Banerjee said: “I always look for roles that challenge me as an actor and I was really looking for a good comedy script and this is a really funny story.
“When the makers approached me to play Munnes and narrated it to me, I was completely mind blown. We have begun shooting for the show in Rohtak and I am really looking forward to it.”
