The actor spoke with IANS during the promotional leg of the show, and shared his process of approaching his character. Since the volume of work is huge for artists in his league, the actor keeps his process simple, he reads through the character, watches episodes from previous seasons. Rest when his bank account is credited with the signing amount, the characters start flowing through him.

Pankaj told IANS, “I have my Aadhar linked with Madhav Mishra. There is no complex process as such (for me). First, we listen to the story, if we like the story, then we do a couple of readings with the entire cast. Rohan sir (the director) is also there. And in that, we understand the basics”.

Aadhaar is a twelve-digit unique identity number that can be obtained voluntarily by all residents of India. It is based on their biometrics and demographic data, and is the world's largest biometric ID system.

The actor further mentioned, “If there is an old character that has been created, if it is needed, then we watch a couple of episodes of the previous season. That's it. Rest, signing amount in, character out”.
