At the trailer launch, Massey shared, “As everyone says, even if we get one passing shot or scene in the Hirani-verse, that’s more than enough. I am very excited about the show. Also, the good man turning bad or anti-hero… I was sick of playing the village boy or the boy next door. Finally, sir (Hirani) has given me a chance. In the Hirani-verse, antagonists are not conventional. It’s the same with Martin.”

The 39-year-old actor highlighted that the series revolves around a highly relevant topic. He revealed that he has personally experienced cybercrime. He shared, “I have been a victim of cybercrime myself, as my emails were hacked twice, and my wife also faced an issue when money was deducted from her account… It’s such a relevant topic. I think everyone has become a victim of it. It’s entertaining, and you will also see the human side of Martin,” referring to his character.
