What made you accept this specific show as your comeback show?

How was it like working on the show?

Tell us more about the show.
Eminent director Gautam Joglekar will make his acting debut with this show as the father of Juhi. Another attraction for the show is a song sung by Avdhoot Gupte composed by Avinash Vishwajeet.
Any role models or inspirations in this field?

What next on the anvil?
My ‘Bikers Adda’ will release in the October. I am pretty much excited about the film as this is a very different
