While

especially
after
the

recently
launched
a

it
has
certainly
built
huge

amongst
the
viewers'
wondering

year

allegedly
hurting
religious
sentiments
and
was
in
jail
for
almost
a
month.
He
is
a
writer
and

association
with

a
one-of-its-kind
shows,
as
I
believe
it
has
the
potential
to
change
the
dynamics
of
the
content-viewing
experience
in
the
Indian
OTT

Though
it's
going
to
be
a
tough
and
challenging
journey
for
me,
I
am
glad

this
show
also
gives
me
an
opportunity
to
be

real
set
up.
I
am

to
be
associated

me
