Artists throughout their career work on multiple projects, but there are times when some of these find a different connection owing to the makers and their vision. Jaaved Jaaferi who plays the role of Ravi Gupta the CEO of a social media app in Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming series – Escaype Live feels the same about Siddharh Kumar Tewary who is the maker of this series.
*Jaaved* voiced his opinion and said, “When I first met Siddharth, I had read a brief synopsis and I found it of interest. But when I met him and he explored and told me how he approached the series and the various characters that are a part of this, it was quite amazing. I loved his vision, the way he saw this as a writer. And as a Director as well. He has got an eye for detail and perfection. A lot of people as directors would be more technical but being a writer, he understands the emotions and psychology behind the characters and that really helps when a director can give an input to an actor on what he is looking for and how an actor should approach the character. I think he is one of the few directors that I enjoyed interacting with and developing my character with. I think he has a very bright future and this series is fantastic and will put him on the map!”
Escaype Live is a fictional story, penned by Jaya Mishra and Siddharth Kumar Tewary, that is likely to seem very true and real.

The essence of the series explores the lengths content creators and tech giants are willing to travel to achieve their aspirations.
