Talking about his OTT debut, Shahid told PTI, "I wanted to do something different and challenge myself. I have been doing this for almost 20 years, I need to feel challenged and excited."

“It is a long-form format. I was excited to see how I can build a character over eight to nine episodes in the first season. We will see what happens after that. But that is very different from playing a character that is two hours and pretty much in one stretch. All those things are exciting. I actually enjoyed myself a lot,” he further added.

Vijay Sethupathi was recently asked if he felt insecure about starring in a series where Shahid also has a lead role. To this, Vijay replied that he respects every actor he is working with and there is no winning as everyone is here to work together.

"I don’t look at it that way. I’ve worked in so many films. Every film is a multi-starrer. There is not only one star in any film. Here also I respect Amol (Palekar) so much, then Bhuvan (Arora). It’s not only Shahid. No one comes here to compete with one another. We all cooperate and work together. There is no winning. I don’t believe in winning, I enjoy the game. There is a lot of sharing and learning. I am not insecure. I did a negative role in my third film," Vijay said as quoted by The Indian Express.

On the work front, Vijay will be seen in Jawan and Merry Christmas.
