"I had to undergo a mental metamorphosis of sorts as this character is nothing like me in real life or even like the characters I've played in television or movies," Rohit said in a statement.
A popular actor since over two decades, Rohit has also featured in movies like "Shootout at Lokhandwala", "Dus Kahaniyaan" and "LOC Kargil".
In "Peterson Hill", which airs on SAB TV, he is seen as a station manager of a railway station near Simla.
