Zain
Imam,
who
became
a
household
name
with
Tashan-E-Ishq,
was
last
seen
Ek
Bhram-Sarvagun
Sampanna.
Fans
have
been
waiting
for
his
comeback
since
almost
two
years.
The
actor
is
finally
back
with
Fanaa-Ishq
Mein
Marjawan,
in
which
he
will
be
seen
in
a
never-seen-before
avatar.
Recently,
Zain
revealed
to
TOI
that
it
was
the
role
that
made
him
take
up
the
show.
He
also
said
that
he
is
not
apprehensive
about
shedding
his
good
boy
image
and
he
loves
doing
intense
roles.
Talking
about
his
role
in
the
show,
he
said,
"I
am
playing
the
anti-hero,
Agastya,
who
is
rich
and
suave.
He
is
obsessively
in
love
with
Pakhi
(Reem
Shaikh)
and
can
go
to
any
extent
to
get
rid
of
anyone
who
comes
in
between
them.
I
like
playing
layered
characters.
You
don't
get
to
explore
much
when
you
are
playing
a
positive
character.
However,
as
the
antagonist,
you
get
to
play
with
the
character
and
enjoy
the
freedom
to
improvise
dialogues
and
demeanour.
It's
always
fun
to
play
the
negative
and
I
love
doing
intense
roles.
So,
I
am
not
apprehensive
about
shedding
my
'good
boy'
image.
I
have
done
it
for
a
while
and
sometimes,
it's
good
to
be
bad,
but
in
a
subtle
way."
When
asked
about
the
break,
he
said,
"I
was
getting
good
offers
but
was
on
a
self-imposed
break
from
TV.
I
did
that
to
avoid
getting
overexposed.
I
wanted
to
try
something
different
and
new.
So,
I
diverted
my
attention
to
OTT.
A
web
series
is
like
a
30-day
commitment.
You
pick
a
new
character
after
one
gets
over.
Besides,
working
in
a
TV
show
can
get
monotonous.
I
don't
appreciate
a
story
being
dragged
after
it
has
run
its
course.
The
best
part
about
Fanaa
is
that
it's
a
bound
script."

The
actor
said
that
he
was
a
bit
apprehensive
about
taking
a
break
and
felt
that
it
was
a
risky
decision
to
take
a
step
back
that
too
when
he
was
doing
well.
He
added
that
it
was
not
easy
to
let
go
of
some
offers
but
doesn't
regret.
He
added
that
TV
is
his
calling
card
and
will
always
come
back
to
it
whenever
he
is
offered
great
concepts.
However,
he
concluded
by
saying
that
he
wants
to
venture
into
films
and
OTT.
