The season two of the show ended with Mumbai seconds away from a nuclear holocaust, he added, “I was okay with the ending because it doesn’t make a difference – either it blows up or he saves it. I quite like the show; it was differently placed. The first season had some crazy things – Cuckoo’s character and the development of my character. Vikram (Motwane) really nailed it as a director. The second season, the climax could have been... I like it but I can understand people preferred the first one, that’s the vibe I got.”
