Personally, he feels very victorious and it’s like his job is done right. It’s a good sign if people are scared of him. But, when he plays a cop who is empathetic, he is curious to find out what impact it generates. He is also in a learning phase. Personally, if anyone walks up to him and tells him that he/she hated him in the show, he takes it as a compliment and it feels like an achievement. He is lucky that his producers are getting their money back. He is always waiting to be surprised, Vijay Varma says.

‘KaalKoot’ will drop on JioCinema on July 27. Vijay was last seen in the series Lust Stories 2 starring Tamannaah Bhatia.
