The Made In Heaven actor also talked about how his crime-drama will highlight some pertinent concerns between the haves and have nots and how justice is denied irrespective of serious allegations like a murder in Undekhi. Ankur Rathee further mentioned about how the show has influenced his own way of looking at things and perceiving them. The actor said "Playing Daman has helped me see a lot of the advantages this unfair system affords me. Every time I witness sexism, racism, police brutality, or religious discrimination, my inaction becomes support for the prejudice and inhumanity. Daman made me question my moral obligation to the truth even when it’s most inconvenient. I am trying, failing, and trying again. No one promised standing for what is right would be easy.”
