But what can be intriguing is you'll never know the why behind what he does which makes it more interesting." The 43-year-old also hinted at a mystery angle to Naxalbari as he added, "I cannot talk much about it which takes away the mystery element. For that, you have to watch the show. It is a show that was entirely shot in the peak of the pandemic & we are so proud of it & we hope to create history".
