Aan Tiwari says, “I am enjoying all the love and attention; the production team pampers me a lot. All my family and friends are thrilled.”

Talking about his role as Mahadev, Siddharth Arora says, “I have this eternal belief that one doesn’t choose Mahadev’s role, but Mahadev chooses you. It has come to me as a blessing. I have been taking three routes to understand and essay the character of Shiv: physically by working out, mentally by meditation and pranayama, and soulfully by trying to be more compassionate in real life. I come from Benaras, the land of spirituality and Shivji has been a huge part of my life. In Benaras, when we greet friends and relatives, we say Mahadev. Shiv ji’s influence in my life has been huge.”
