TV presenter, comedian and actor Maniesh Paul is all set for his OTT debut with Ritam Srivastav’s directorial thriller drama.
Not sharing much about the project, he said: “I am happy to get roles where I can show my skills as an actor beyond just one genre that is comedy. I cannot talk much about this web series but I am not playing a comic character and it is a very interesting role about which I will be able to talk more in December.
“It’s a thriller drama and I was very happy when this project came to me as now people will see me doing something different,” he added
Paul is all set to host the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10, which is coming back after five years and he feels that post the last season of this show the biggest thing that happened to him is that Karan Johar offered him Jugjugg Jeeyo.
In an interview with IANS he said: “It is like when one door closes, the other opens for you. Post Jhalak Karan Sir offered me Jugjugg Jeeyo and that was really a profitable thing for me. People started recognizing me as an actor and in fact, those who once rejected me are coming with different kinds of offers and I am really excited to see my acting graph moving ahead.”
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 is all set to start from September 3 on Colors.
