Gurmeet, who is known for playing Lord Ram in the show Ramayan (2008), said: "As I have always mentioned, I come from a 'fauji' family so I’m very much aware of the struggles and disciplined lifestyle that come with it. Playing a RAW agent, which is a strong character, I tend to get carried away and embody that form and energy." "To bring authenticity to this character, I drew heavily on my background and personal experiences.
Additionally, my dad played a significant role in my preparations, helping me with a few training sessions on how to hold a gun and other practical aspects," Gurmeet added. The series is centered around a RAW agent unraveling a high-stakes mystery amid political intrigue and betrayal. Also starring Iqbal Khan and Hruta Durgule in key roles, Commander Karan Saxena will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from July 8.
On the work front, Gurmeet has been a part of shows like Kumkum-Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi, and Punar Vivaah-Zindagi Milegi Dobara. He also participated in shows like Pati Patni Aur Woh, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, Nach Baliye, Shriman v/s Shrimati, Nach Baliye 6, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 5, and Box Cricket League 2. The 40-year-old actor has been part of films like Wajah Tum Ho, Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana, Paltan, and The Wife.
