"Duryodhana is not bad or evil. If you ask in that sense, who amongst the Pandavas won the Kurukshetra battle fair and square? Pandavas were the ones who placed Shikandi in front of Bheeshma and attacked, they took the protective shield away from Karna as charity. They won the battle by cheating. But, the eldest Kaurava did not do that!" remarked Darshan, stating his opinion.

"Who was it who laughed when Duryodhana slipped and fell? It was Draupadi. She was the cause for his embarrassment. It was Krishna who told Bheema to hit Duryodhana on his thighs as it was his only weak point. Duryodhana was incited by external factors for you to categorize him as an antagonist" said Darshan, defending his point of view.

Darshan said, "For an actor, every role he takes up will be a challenge. Every role should be executed very carefully as if it were his first movie.

It might be his fear, courage, power or determination, every characteristic is important. I am very happy and equally excited to take up this challenging role."
