While talking about his character and weight loss, Ranka shared "In the show Brahmarakshas 2, I am playing the character of a cop and will be seen in a clean-shaven look.

Arpit Ranka also shared about the kind of roles he loves playing and said “Grey characters give an actor a certain edge and I love performing such roles. I think my personality is more suited for negative roles and I am able to show various shades of my acting abilities by playing such characters". After a successful first season, Brahmarakshas has returned for its second season and this time the show is set to take a two-year leap. It is reportedly going to bring in a 'package of surprises' for its viewers.
