Ashish Vidyarthi Returning To TV With Season 2 Of Anil Kapoor’s 24

Popular for his villainous roles in Bollywood, Ashish Vidyarthi, who has been a popular face in the world of Television before he attained fame in films, is returning to TV almost after decade with the second season of Anil Kapoor’s 24. Reportedly, the actor who was last seen in films like Talaash, Kick 2 and Haider, will essay the role of a druglord named Roshan Sherchan, who is also Sikander Kher's brother in the series and has been captured by the Anti Terrorist Unit (ATU). Demand for his release will put Jai Singh Rathod (played by Anil Kapoor) in a dilemmatic situation, where he will have to choose between duty and humanity.

Revealing what prompted him to take up this role, Ashish told DNA, “This series is shot like a film and my character is very strong with a lot of detailing. Plus, the series has retained the edginess that is there in the original. For me, what was interesting was the gamut of feelings my character undergoes in 24 hours — from being fearless to dealing with fear”.

When asked if he is open to feature in other TV shows, he said, “As an actor I want to do amazing stuff, irrespective of the medium. I have done many films in the south. But when it comes to Hindi films and TV I am extremely choosy”.
