MUMBAI: Actor Hrishikesh Pandey is all set to play a pivotal role in new mythological show 'Dharm Yoddha Garud'. He will essay the role of Rishi Kashyap.

Hrishikesh says: "The glimpses of the show will give you larger than life feel, and I can't wait to watch the episodes on the television screens as the team's effort to make it look so splendid and grand is commendable. I am portraying the character of Rishi Kashyap, who is the creator of all living creatures."

The actor who is known for playing the role of Inspector Sachin in 'C.I.D' , shares his take on the show.

"'Dharm Yoddha Garud' will beautifully narrate the journey of mother-son and their challenges and hurdles in life. I want to dedicate this character to my mother as she's into mythological shows, and in a way, I can say that I am doing the show for her."

'Dharm Yoddha Garud' will be starting soon on Sony SAB.
