And a person like me who is all devoted to Lord Shiva will not only enjoy playing such a role but also respect the opportunity. I'm really excited because the role of Shiva is powerful and quite challenging. I will always have regard for such opportunity being devoted to God."

He adds: "Mythology is an important part of any culture. It plays a large role in the rituals followed in society, and in the way our community thinks and functions. So I feel great to educate myself by being part of such stories. Actually we get to learn something new everyday. In our country, we are all thrilled when festivals arrive or when we visit some significant temples or places. We love to enjoy them but are we confident enough to explain to our coming generations? I feel such shows are institutions to educate society about our origin."
