Manav Kaul has been known for his versatile acting skills in the Hindi film industry. This time also the actor played something different in front of the screen. Manav played a middle-class man who had to become a male escort in Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper. He stated that he requested the makers to audition him for once so that he could understand if he can play the role. The Tumhari Sulu actor also shared that he was a middle-class man himself when he was in Madhya Pradesh.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Manav said “I remember reading the first two episodes of Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper and telling myself: ‘I can’t let go of this opportunity!’ I messaged the makers of the show multiple times requesting them to allow me to audition for the series. I just wanted one audition so that I could put myself out there and show that I could pull off such a role. We got on a Zoom call and then after that, Puneet (Krishna, the creator of the show) started watching quite a bit of my previous work. He was then convinced that I could do this and I am so grateful. This is such a brilliantly written show. I was lucky to get the part of Tribhuvan, but this is such a good series that I would have been okay playing any role in it.”
“Tribhuvan is a very middle-class, simple guy and I hail from a similar kind of background. I grew up in Hoshangabad (in Madhya Pradesh). I grew up in a hand-to-mouth atmosphere and there was always an element of desperation. For a middle-class person, more often than not, choosing between being honest to your job and caring about your family becomes very tough. When things become rough, one can go to any length to save these two. It is a universal story. This is reality but it brings so much entertainment to the show,” he continued.
He also added, “The story is about an honest man who gets caught up in a series of tough situations and then he takes a very bizarre route to earn money. The fallout of that decision makes the show a mad ride. I found it so amazing that Puneet thought about all this and wrote such an incredible series.”
Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper also stars Hardika Sharma, Faisal Malik, Tillotama Shome, Shweta Basu Prasad, Ashok Pathak and Shrikant Verma in pivotal roles. The web series is streaming on Netflix.
