Rahul Dev made his debut in 2000 with the film Champion in which he played the villain where he was nominated for the Filmfare Best Villain Award in 2001 and there has certainly been no stopping for him ever since.

Having done some good work at OTTs recently, he is back again playing Ravi Shrivastava, an alpha toughie, an agent in Anamika. Upon asking him about his experience in working in the MX Player web series, he admits, “We filmed Anamika under extremely trying circumstances. The Covid crisis was at its peak. I want to congratulate the team for coming so bravely on the sets.”

“He is heading the agency. He has personally trained Anamika and, in fact, she is one of his best agents. Because he has trained her, he knows what can break her, what her vulnerabilities are. And then of course the story progresses. It’s a very layered story. It has many layers,” he explains about what Ravi Shrivastava brings on the table in the series while he adds how safe it is to work with Vikram (Bhatt) mentioning that it was his fifth collaboration with him.”

“I think it’s too early to comment. It has not yet come out. It’s like saying Tiger is the same thing as James Bond. It’s totally their interpretation but aisa kuch nahi hai.”
