"I'm totally ready for it. Yes, it is a big opportunity as well as big responsibility as Ritvik has done a great job and now I have stepped in, it might take time for me to get into the audience's hearts but I'm sure with my positivity, I will," he shared.

He even shared that he is happy to play a character with different layers.

On the look he will be sporting in the show, he said: "I'm going to keep my beard and yes, I don't want to copy the previous actor's look as I'm not conscious about my looks, looks can just give a push to the character but what matters is how I perform."
