Sharad said in a statement: "You've seen me in the romantic genre earlier. Here it was completely different. This is a very serious show, a very intense show and there isn't anything funny because it's a murder mystery.

He added: "There is someone who is out on the loose, mercilessly killing women. Then there comes ACP Vikrant, a single father who is suspended and an alcoholic."

"This is like homecoming for me. My life's biggest and most important shows were from the Balaji Telefilms family. Ekta ma'am has given me so many characters that the audience has loved so much," said Sharad, who made his acting debut in 2004 with Princess Dollie Aur Uska Magic Bag.

Talking about the new show, Sharad added, "It's a murder mystery, a crime genre, my first time and it was an amazing experience. I'm grateful to Balaji Telefilms for that.

Talking about working with Vinay, he added: "It was a great team effort. I got to work with Vinay Anand. He has spread his magic in the Bhojpuri industry and even appeared in Hindi films. It was really great."

"When I came to know that Vinay Anand is also going to be a part of the project, I knew it's going to be something good. Me and Vinay, we both were looking for such a good script and I thank god that we got it."

Finally, a good crime show on Indian TV! We are tired of the same old saas-bahu dramas. ACP Vikrant sounds promising. Hope they keep it realistic and not add unnecessary family melodrama later on.

Sharad Malhotra is a good actor, but I'm a bit skeptical. Balaji Telefilms is known for over-the-top drama. Will they be able to sustain a serious murder mystery without adding typical TV tropes? Let's see.

Interesting to see the collaboration with Vinay Anand. Bringing talent from Bhojpuri cinema is a great move. It adds a different flavor. Hope it's streaming on a platform I already subscribe to!

The character of a suspended, alcoholic single father ACP sounds very layered. If executed well, this could be a breakthrough role for Sharad. All the best to the team! 👍
