As the year comes to an end, India’s homegrown OTT giant, ALTBalaji presented its viewers with a chance to rejoice, as the platform announced a new show ‘Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu’. The dashing and talented actor, Parth Samthaan, has been roped in to play the lead role in this upcoming ALTBalaji series.
After winning hearts as Anurag in Balaji telefilms’ Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Parth is now going to move past his good boy image and portray the role of Nawab, an underworld don in this series.
Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu, the Parth Samthaan starrer web-series of ALTBalaji has been in the headlines for roping in the popular Kasautii Zindagii Kay star to play a never-played-before role of a gangster. Based on a true-life story of the ’90s, Parth will be seen in a very different look and avatar.
Being very excited about playing a gangster, Parth added, “I am extremely excited about this new project as it is my first full-fledged web venture with ALTBalaji. It’s a gangster-based show from the ’90s and my character is inspired by a true story.” Parth said, “I have been known for playing a perfect hero kind on television which has received immense love from my fans and audiences. With this show, I am venturing into a completely new territory and viewers will get to see me in a completely different avatar. The character has its machismo, attitude, glamour style from the ’90s and far from the usual stuff.”
Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu sees the rise of the underworld don Nawab, from the 1980s to 1990s. The series will trace the world of the hero as he travels from counterfeit DVD rackets to smuggling, extortion, from the glamour of Bollywood and Bangkok to the reality of surviving jail, the gun bazaars to the bylanes of Jogeshwari, killings and shootouts and the slums of Mumbai.
Parth added, “I believe gangster-based shows are consumed and liked by all kinds of audiences and appreciated by the viewers nowadays. Moreover, as I have been labeled as an actor with more female following, I think with this show I will be able to break that notion. Men and boys would equally love this show as it’s an action-packed drama with an incredible adventure. I am looking forward to it,”
