Talking about his experience of shooting this show, Namit Das says, “All the projects I have been a part of, whether they are on film, television, theatre or web, have always been because my character and the overall storyline has enticed me. With A Suitable Boy, it was a given that I will do this. The story is so beautifully written. To work with Mira Nair is a thrilling experience. She is a visionary who brought this book to life. Working with actors like Rasika Dugal, Shahana Goswami and others, was a joy ride. The Lucknow shoot will always hold special memories in my heart but I cannot wait for the final product to come out so that the audience can understand the soul behind it.”
