Abhishek Bajaj, who portrays the role of 'Chakku Bhaiyya' in the series, shared his first reaction after reading the script, saying, `I knew I wanted to do this role when I first read the script. A UP guy with a Lucknawi accent, this guy poses to be an alpha male but has a prominent vulnerable side to himself. He is a bad guy with a good heart, and I was very happy to bring this interesting character to life on screen. When I was working on Student of the Year 2, characters hailing from UP were becoming increasingly popular. I wanted to play one, but I just wasn't getting any of those roles. And the moment this opportunity came to me, I had to grab it, and the fact that it was so well written made it a rewarding experience.`
Further talking about his character, he added, `Whenever I play any character, I try to find that character within myself, to keep the emotions real. And Chakku is a very sweet guy with alpha traits, which made it easy for me to relate to him. Although he talks differently and I don't fight as much as him, I take a stand for my people, hype them, and be there for them, just like him. And that's the trait I could relate to the most.`
