Hussain Dalal: The Hyderabadi slang and swag in Salesman of the Year is something viewers have not seen before

Actor-writer Hussain Dalal, who is gearing up for the release of his web series Salesman Of The Year, says that the story of the show is very relatable. 

Hussain plays the protagonist in the show - 26-year-old Karthik, a Hyderabad-based salesman who gets a job in Delhi. As he moves out from his native place to a city like Delhi that is very unfamiliar to him geographically, socially, culturally and in every way, Karthik finds it hard to cope with the change. How he deals with the changes sets the storyline of the show.

Talking about the show, Hussain said, "Salesman of the Year tells a story that is extremely relatable for everyone, as we are all trying to belong and be accepted - be it in a new city, a new job, with new friends or with our own family."

Asked about his experience of playing a Hyderabadi man, the actor said that he had a blast playing Karthik Reddy. "Karthik's Hyderabadi slang and swag are something viewers have not had a chance to see before. The show is a masaledaar serving of Hyderabadi biryani with Dilli ke parathe – amma kasam maja ayenga," Hussain said with a laugh.

Starting his career in acting in 2012, Hussain is known for appearing in films like Margarita with a Straw, A Gentleman, Hichki, Judgementall Hai Kya and Toofaan, among others. He is also known for writing dialogues for films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, 2 States, Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva and the Netflix web series Call My Agent: Bollywood.

Salesman Of The Year, directed by Ankita Sharma, is written by Rajesh Narasimhan and Ashiish V Patil. It also features Ahsaas Channa and is releasing on MX Player on December 21.
