Meanwhile, Sunil Grover was recently seen on Amazon Prime Video’s web series Tandav. The actor’s performance was highly appreciated by critics and audience alike. Talking about the love he received from fans, he said to Hindustan Times, “It felt really good it has come after a while. It was a big deal that people acknowledged my efforts in another kind of setup. Due to my comic background, to be seen and accepted in a different role was a chance for me and thankfully, it paid off.”
When he was asked whether his role in Tandav was a gamechanger, he replied, “Time will tell if people think of me differently or if this turns out to be a gamechanger. But the acceptance gives me an immense amount of confidence. I was confident of the role and the show but acting is such an art form that till you don’t get acceptance from the audiences, it isn’t celebrated.”
