The actor, who is excited to experiment shooting in two languages at the same time, says, "My character in 'Social' is a very simple, organized and a good hearted guy, who I relate to quite a bit, except the organized part. He loves his family but isn't a very social guy, however he has to work with a group of people to find his missing sister. What got me to sign this show is that it is an extremely interesting script and Shashi is an amazing director to work with. It's exciting to work on a digital show since digital platforms are experimenting with content which attracts a huge audience."
The series is slated to be launched on Viu (a video-on-demand platform) in the second week of September.
