For me, as a storyteller, I picked up the pen, and dropped my director’s hat, as I had to during the lockdown, to pen a unique story for our audience. Thankfully with the planning and help of the hoichoi team, I could again don the hat and make this series which has become very near & dear to me. It gives me immense happiness to know that this show of mine has also been helmed as a successful series.”

Saurav Das, one of the lead actors in this series stated, “I have frequently collaborated with Debaloy in Charitraheen, Charitraheen 2 and our last series Montu Pilot, and all 3 are helmed as some of the top shows of hoichoi. We wanted to keep the frequency going and the adrenaline high to make the best kind of content for our audience.”
