Trying his hands out in podcast for the first time, the 55-year-old actor appeared excited to play the role of a determined cop as he takes the listeners on a thrilling and nerve-racking journey. While talking to ANI, the actor opened up about the new experience and wished for his fans to enjoy the series as much as he did while narrating it.

Ronit Roy said, ''Performing a variety of roles in front of the camera comes naturally to me. However, taking a character as interesting as ACP Gautam to a podcast was a whole new experience.  To emote through the mic, to convert expressions into some kind of sound or pause and conveying a variety of emotions just through voice and intonation- it’s all been good fun! I am eager for listeners to become a part of ACP’s Gautam life, just as I have.''
