The series will not feature big faces, but good actors, said Umesh Shukla. “The PM’s story is the biggest star. If we cast a known face, the viewer will not connect with the story, and will search for the actor. So, we have cast good actors, instead,” he says of the project that was “silently” under works for a year-and-a-half,” he told Mid Day
