The actor has indeed raised the bar with his phenomenal performance. When asked what went behind his preparation for the role, the actor revealed that he took inspiration from Hollywood actor Heath Ledger’s character in the 2008 superhero film, Dark Knight.

"I was inspired by Heath Ledger of Dark Knight. I'm grateful to him because they helped me create a certain mindset in terms of the character. I'm also grateful to my well-wishers who don't just appreciate my hard work but also give out their honest reviews,” the actor told Etimes. He also called the role very demanding and said it takes a lot of exercise for him to get out of the character. “To get out of my character, I would get to exercising, grab a bite or talk to a few people. Otherwise it affects you mentally,” he added.

Reportedly, the actor recently suffered an injury while shooting a scene for the popular show. However, the injury did not affect his work schedule as he continued the shoot. "Simba's current character is very demanding and the actor has been working very hard on the set. But sadly, last week, he sustained an injury but ensured it did not once affect his work schedule. Without complaining, he just kept shooting continuously and said it's to avoid breaking out of the character which is pretty commendable," a source told Pinkvilla.
