Rajeev Khandelwal: 'Naxal' cast, crew underwent rejig due to COVID-19

"The cast and crew (of the show) has undergone a major rejig because of the whole Covid thing. But eventually we have all very capable people on board. I am looking forward to working with Aamir (Ali), Satyadeep (Mishra), Tina (Dutta) and others as my co-actors," he said.

Rajeev also shared how he has been utilising the lockdown time to rehearse his character.

"I have never had the opportunity of working with any of them (his co-stars), so it makes it even more exciting. We have had table readings for the show, and I have used this time away from set, to work on my character. I hope it is a treat for my fans because they have never seen me in a role like this. My character, of an STF agent, should surprise the audience because it has many shades -- from humour and action to a lot of emotion," Rajeev added.

Directed by Kunal Kohli, "Naxal" will stream on Zee5.
