Arjun
Kapoor,
who
is
currently
binge
watching
acclaimed
90s
TV
series
Byomkesh
Bakshi,
says
he
wishes
to
play
a
detective
on
screen.
Byomkesh
Bakshi,
based
on
the
fictional
character
created
by
writer
Sharadindu
Bandyopadhyay
and
starring
Rajit
Kapur,
is
being
re-telecasted
on
DD
National
during
the
nationwide
lockdown
to
combat
the
spread
of
coronavirus
pandemic
in
the
country.
For
Arjun,
this
show
is
like
a
whiff
of
nostalgia
from
his
childhood.
"Whenever
I
could
catch
'Byomkesh
Bakshi'
as
a
kid,
I
remember
I
enjoyed
it
thoroughly.
For
me,
Byomkesh
was
what
a
hero
should
be.
Slick,
super-intelligent,
and
charismatic,
he
is
one
of
the
best
sleuths
that
I
have
seen
on
screen!
I
have
been
watching
'Byomkesh...'
on
TV
again
and
it
is
pure
nostalgia
for
me,"
Arjun
said
in
a
statement.
According
to
the
34-year-old
actor,
the
show
is
backed
by
great
writing
and
acting,
which
makes
it
a
timeless
watch.
"The
best
thing
about
Byomkesh
was
that
he
solved
intelligent
crimes
and
that
really
hooked
me
on.
The
writing,
the
cleverness
of
the
cases
really
got
me
interested.
The
show
still
hooks
you
thoroughly
and
that's
what
great
writing,
great
acting
can
do.
Great
content
has
the
ability
to
become
timeless
and
universal,"
said
Arjun.
Arjun
said
he
does
wish
to
play
a
detective
on
screen,
someday.
"I
had
always
wanted
to
play
a
detective
who
saves
the
day
and
saves
lives.
I
got
to
live
my
childhood
dream
by
playing
an
undercover
agent
and
saving
the
country
in
'India's
Most
Wanted'.
I
still
hope
I
get
to
play
a
detective
on-screen
one
day,"
he
said.
