An avid gamer himself, Darsheel was overjoyed when he was offered this character, which is an extension of his real self. What’s more, even the makers are as crazy about gaming. “Arya Deo sir (director), Abhinay Deo sir and Neeta Shah ma’am (producers) are into gaming too and it was fantastic to shoot and put this unique show together,” he says. After becoming a star overnight after the release of his debut film, Darsheel went back to finish his studies, did a few projects here and there, joined theater. His comeback vehicle, a slice of life comedy, Gamerlog, has its share of action. Darsheel shares, “It was like being transported to a Hollywood actioner, I loved every bit of it.”

As the show opened up to a good response, Drasheel’s resolve to do hatke work gets a boost. Two of his films are in the post-production but what makes him emotional right now is the release of Sitaare Zameen Par this Friday. “Taare Zameen Par got me so much love. It is still talked about. Everyone is looking forward to Sitaare Zameen Par for they know it’s going to be a good film. Even my building watchman is excited about it even though he knows I’m not part of it.” When not acting, Darsheel loves to play, sing, dance or spend time in nature, “I can’t be at one place – I am ADHD Pro Max,” he laughs.

Gamerlog is streaming on Amazon MX player.
