Jacqueline Fernandez and Neil Nitin Mukesh star as coach Pearl and Gagan Ahuja, the series' central characters, respectively. 

Jacqueline Fernandez on playing Pearl

Jacqueline Fernandez said, describing her connection to the character of Pearl, who is both passionate and multi-layered, that Hai Junoon— Dream, Dare, Dominate is not just a story about music or dance; it's about passion, rivalry, and finding your place in a world full of expectations. With her complicated, driven, and yet vulnerable character, Pearl, the actor had a very personal experience playing her. It's an honour to be a part of a show that brings a new perspective to celebrating youth culture and music. It will be an incredible musical experience if the audience can accompany them.

Neil Nitin Mukesh on portraying Gagan Ahuja

Neil Nitin Mukesh's (whose last outing was Hisaab Barabar) Gagan Ahuja, on the other hand, is a seasoned musician who is also a rigorous disciplinarian who values tradition and brilliance. The actor described his time onscreen as both challenging and exciting while portraying the character. An ardent and disciplined musical legend, Gagan is very attached to the history of the SuperSonics. His experiences in Hai Junoon— Dream, Dare, Dominate mirror the difficulties faced by artists in realising their passions and dreams, which are frequently misunderstood as narcissism and egotism. Actually, it's all about discovering who they are and what they are here to do. Neil holds a deep affection for music due to his family's rich musical heritage. The endeavour was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the cast's talent and enthusiasm. It is his sincere wish that the viewers would feel the same way about the performance.
