Directed by Shaad Ali, the series sees him take centrestage with Rajat Kapoor, Soni Razdan and Aahana Kumra.
Of course, it didn’t come easy, but Ayush has quite a practical approach.
“You feel bad when you get rejected in the first 10 auditions. But after 20 and 250 auditions, it doesn’t matter. It’s a process, like hits and flops, and not to be taken seriously. You do your best and then forget about it,”
What kind of feedback are you getting for Call May Agent?
I’m getting good responses. A lot of people, who have watched the show, have said that I stand out. Since it’s my OTT debut, it’s really motivating. A growing actor wants to hear appreciation in his first show at least.
Being a Punjabi, how difficult was it to portray a Parsi character?
There are challenges when you have to play a person who speaks a different dialect but the script helped me a lot.
Since they are modern agents, a lot of slang that Parsis use will not come in place. It will only happen when you are in a private space, or in distress.
The idea was not to overdo it, but to keep it natural, to have a sprinkle of it.
I have done it the way it was written.
It was challenging, and took a little time because I am not used to saying those words.
But some friends helped me with the script.
