Speaking
about
the
series,
much
loved
actor
Mithun
Chakraborty
said,
"Lokesh
Pramanik,
my
character
in
Bestseller,
is
a
unique
personality
with
interesting
quirks.
I
enjoyed
playing
him
with
all
his
eccentricities.
I
also
had
a
great
time
working
with
my
talented
co-stars
on
the
series;
everyone
worked
really
hard
to
bring
their
characters
to
life.
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
streaming
debut.
I
have
a
lot
of
faith
in
Mukul
Abhyankar
and
believe
he
has
done
a
commendable
job
in
developing
an
extremely
entertaining
thriller.
Bestseller
will
definitely
appeal
to
suspense
and
thriller
fans
across
the
globe,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
it
premiering
on
Amazon
Prime
Video."
"I
am
thrilled
that
Bestseller
is
my
full-feature
digital
debut",
said
Shruti
Haasan.
"When
Siddharth
Malhotra
reached
out
to
me
for
Bestseller,
I
was
working
on
a
number
of
projects
and
wasn't
sure
if
I
could
make
this
commitment,
but
the
moment
I
went
through
the
script,
I
couldn't
put
it
down.
I
was
hooked
to
the
layers
in
the
story
and
found
my
character
so
compelling,
that
I
just
had
to
do
it.
I
always
wanted
to
enter
this
space
with
a
female
lead
story
and
it
was
an
amazing
opportunity
to
play
a
character
I
couldn't
pass
up.
I
have
worked
hard
to
prepare
for
my
role
and
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
audience's
reaction
to
the
series."
Arjan
Bajwa
said,
"The
story
of
Bestseller
is
one
that
will
have
the
audiences
completely
riveted
-
each
character
is
so
distinct,
played
to
perfection
by
the
very
talented
cast,
expertly
guided
by
the
vision
of
director
Mukul
Abhyankar.
The
entire
narrative
is
so
intriguing
and
well
layered.
I
am
quite
excited
about
my
role
as
Tahir
Wazir,
a
successful
and
assertive
writer
whose
life
undergoes
drastic
twists
and
turns,
when
he
crosses
paths
with
a
stranger.
Given
the
multiple
layers
to
the
character,
it
was
a
challenging
role
to
play
but
at
the
same
time
a
fantastic
experience
as
an
actor
to
portray
Tahir.
I
cannot
wait
for
Bestseller
to
reach
viewers
across
the
world."
"I
was
probably
the
first
of
the
cast
to
come
on
board
the
team
of
Bestseller
as
Siddharth
Malhotra,
the
producer
of
the
series,
saw
Mayanka
in
me," shared
Gauahar
Khan.
"The
character
of
Mayanka
is
very
multifaceted.
She
has
complex
relationships
with
those
around
her
and
strives
to
strike
a
balance
in
her
professional
and
personal
life.
She
is
someone
a
lot
of
women
will
identify
with.
Director
Mukul
Abhyankar
has
dealt
with
the
nuances
of
my
character
beautifully."
Satyajeet
Dubey
said,
"It
is
every
actor's
dream
to
have
their
work
reach
out
to
the
widest
possible
audience
and
I
am
excited
for
the
global
release
of
Bestseller
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
This
was
a
complicated
and
challenging
role
-
with
multiple
layers
to
the
character
and
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
pushing
myself
to
give
it
my
best.
I
am
also
glad
to
have
worked
with
such
a
talented
team,
which
helped
bring
out
the
chemistry
between
characters
beautifully
and
made
working
on
this
series
an
enjoyable
experience.
I
am
looking
forward
to
know
what
the
audiences
think
of
Bestseller."
Sonalee
Kulkarni
said,
"With
Bestseller
I
am
making
my
digital
debut
and
I
am
delighted
to
be
a
part
of
this
wonderful
series.
Shooting
for
a
series
is
a
very
different
experience
from
a
movie,
but
my
director
Mukul
Abhyankar
made
it
easy.
I
am
also
thrilled
I
got
to
work
so
closely
with
Mithun
da.
He
is
such
an
experienced
and
amazing
actor
with
an
impeccable
work
ethic.
When
we
shot
our
scenes
together,
we
hardly
did
any
rehearsals
or
even
retakes.
As
our
characters
go
about
solving
the
mystery
of
Bestseller,
I
am
sure
the
audience
will
be
glued
to
the
edge
of
their
seats."
