Actor Avinash Tiwary, who will be portraying the character of Dara Kadri in the upcoming crime-drama series ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’, has revealed that all the actors on set were attempting to impress the accomplished actor Kay Kay Menon with their acting skills. However, Avinash mentioned that instead, Kay Kay Menon was trying to impress his wife, actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, who plays his on-screen wife in the show as well.
During the trailer launch event in Mumbai’s Bandra area on Monday, Avinash expressed his delight in performing alongside Kay Kay and learning a great deal from him. He humorously added that while everyone else was trying to impress Kay Kay, he was busy impressing Nivedita.
At this moment, Kay Kay Menon interrupted and requested to shift the focus back on the show, saying, “Now, can we talk a bit about the show?”
‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ is set in the 1970s Mumbai, a time when gang wars, crimes, and betrayals were rampant. In this fictional series, an honest cop witnesses his son choosing the path of crime to escape a life of poverty and struggle. The story has been written by crime journalist and author S. Hussain Zaidi, with Rensil D’Silva and Shujaat Saudagar as the creators, and Shujaat Saudagar as the director.
The series is produced by Excel Media and Entertainment and is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on September 14.
