Kavin Dave talks about Hansal Mehta

Kavin Dave plays the role of Rakesh which is loosely inspired by the well-known businessman Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, who is called the King of the stock market. He filled the void that the arrest and downfall of Harshad Mehta created in the stock market. As Dave spoke about his character and preparation for it he said: "My character in the series is loosely based on a real-life character. I am part of the bear gang who are arch-rivals to Harshad Mehta. When you get to play such a part, preparation becomes slightly more different from the other fictional characters that one has designed or interpreted. So, I tried indulging in reading up more on the subject, the person, watching some old television interviews etc. And then added my own personality to it. Also, the workshop with Hansal Sir really gave me a clearer and more definite picture of how and what the character is and should be."

Kavin had dreamt of working with Hansal Mehta for a long time and had been a fan since he saw Aligarh. When asked about working with Hansal Mehta, he said: “It is every actor's dream to work with a director who brings the best out of an actor and Hansal sir is one of them. He lets you be, he sets you free to explore and you suddenly realise that it's just flowing, the magic is happening. So yes, I feel really blessed to have worked with him."

Kavin says he wished the two had more scenes together in Scam.

When asked about how he feels about the show getting such a great response, Kavin said that he knew they were delivering something big with the show, but he also spoke about not expecting such a huge positive response coming their way. The actor said that he was overwhelmed by all the love and appreciation the show has received.
