He went on to add, “As the story unfolds and elements from Chandru’s past resurface, his world only grows more complicated. What drew me to this role was the chance to truly explore the complexities of human emotion and relationships. I’m always looking for roles that challenge me as an actor, and this one offers a rich emotional landscape to work with.”

Expressing gratitude for the opportunities he’s received throughout his career, Pankit noted, “I feel fortunate that the industry continues to trust me with layered, meaningful roles. I’m in a phase of my life where I’m eager to push creative boundaries and embrace characters that resonate with authenticity.”
