On being asked on why he is collaborating with Kunal on an action show, Jay said "Ive always been very impressed with the proffesional choices he has made.

A combination of strength and a certain innocence" 

The actor was recently spotted in Lucknow for a recee of the show along with the director and producer Sarvesh goel. On why they chose Lucknow, Kunal says "Lucknow is the perfect combination of tradition and modernity. That's exactly what the show needs. Plus as an added bonus, the food is amazing" he laughs
