Akshay Oberoi, at first, talked about the character in the series. He said, “There’s a lot more than what meets the… You know, the face. There’s a lot, there’s a twist. This character is a very interesting part.”
He later expressed that OTT platforms have brought him closer to his fans and well-wishers. The Fighter actor expressed that he was often considered an outsider in the industry despite belonging to the Oberoi family.
“I would not have been in a fighter if I didn’t have the OTT. You know, I think the OTT made it more… sort of plot meritocracy into the industry. Before that, it was who do you know, who, which parties do you attend? Are you in the cool crowd? And I was never in the cool crowd. I was always sort of an outsider. The OTT brought me in. And people started taking notice. I thought this was good acting. And then I got a film like Fighter. It puts you on the map. So, you know, it’s been great for me,” he said.
