"Two years back the writers had pitched the show to me, and at that time I found it extremely exciting. They had worked on it, and there was not much to think about before saying yes," he added.

Ronit has started shooting for the show in Nainital, and he shared: "Apart from the mask, it's not much different from my earlier shoots. It is pretty much the same."
