Speaking more about the film and his character, Arpit said: "After Bholaa, I was looking for something substantial which would challenge me as an actor and allow me to showcase my acting ability as well." Arpit, who is best known for portraying Duryodhana in Mahabharat and Kans in RadhaKrishn, says he is a believer of Lord Shiva.

"I am a huge believer of Mahakal and before Bholaa I visited Mahakal temple so I felt a strong connect there this time. I was in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, my hometown, resting and I wanted to go to the Mahakal temple. Around the same time, I got a call for Tavvai." He said that he "wholeheartedly accepted" it. School of Lies: Nimrat Kaur Was Amazed by the Level of Intelligence That Children Possess Today.

"And now after the filming, the first look of my character is out and I have received a lot of good feedback.

This is not the first time he will be seen in shades of grey, in Bholaa, Arpit played the role of Bhoora, a henchman.  Bholaa  is a remake of the critically-acclaimed 2019 Tamil film Kaithi and stars Ajay Devgn in the main role alongside Tabu, Deepak Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra, Gajraj Rao and Vineet Kumar.
