The rapper, who will be soon seen showcasing his acting chops with the webseries 'Bajao', spoke about checking all boxes as an artiste.


The series also came in like a full circle moment for him as the streaming show has been directed by the same set of directors with whom he shot a music video about seven years back.



Touted to be a laugh riot, ‘Bajao’ is a coming of age, bromance-comedy, set up in Delhi.


The show explores the funny and wacky world of the Punjabi music industry which is extremely colourful and comes with a host of atrangi characters and swanky rappers.


Thrilled about his acting debut, the rapper shared: “I have always wanted to check all the boxes as an artist, and being able to act was one of them. This was a coming full circle moment for me since the directors (Shiv Varma and Saptaraj Chakraborty) are the same people I shot a music video with 7 years ago.”


Directed by Shiva Varma and Saptaraj Chakraborty, ‘Bajao’ presents a crazy comedy driven by three boys amid the pressures of making it and surviving in the “Punjabi music world”.


The show, which has a lot of satirical entertainment, is overloaded with mishaps and madness.


Produced by Jio Studios, ‘Bajao’ will premiere on Jio Cinema on August 25.
