Rajat Kapoor will be making his debut in Bengali web-series with this series. “When we go for promotional events, we say we had a good time shooting. However they are not true all the time. But this time this is true. The result was something that we had not expected while we were shooting the web-series. I had a great time shooting and I hope the audience enjoy as much as we did” said the actor.
Kankana is making her debut with this web-series. She sent a voice note to Sourav and asked him to let her know about any auditions taking place in Kolkata. The director asked her to come and meet him as he needed her accent for the role in his new web-series. This was how she was cast in the web-series. “Rajat sir is so sweet that he came up to me and introduced himself. I mean who does not know him? But it was his gesture that put me at ease and I was able to do my scene properly with him” said Kankana.
Saloni who plays the quiet daughter Raka said “I am quiet in my real life. So it kind of helped me to play Raka. I and Paayel di clicked from the first moment as mother and daughter as we were both fighting to get the due time from Rajat sir”.
Mumtaz who had shared screen space with the director as an actor was thrilled to be acting in his web-series. She described Sourav as a quiet director who did not reveal much about how he felt about her acting. She hoped that the audience will be more responsive and applaud the team effort.
