'Majnu' Jaideep Ahlawat is all set for the release on his Netflix anthology Ajeeb Daastaans today. The actor, who played the role of Bablu in the film directed by Shashank Khaitan, was joined by Fatima Sana Shaikh and Armaan Rahlatnin the short.
Talking about his role, Jaideep said, “I am grateful Shashank [Khaitan, director] thought of me for this character. Considering the way he narrated Bablu bhaiya’s [his character] complexities, I was keen to try my hand at the role. [That said], I was fearful whether I would be able to tell the story the way he intended."
The actor mentions he would love to do a romantic film. He said, “I would love to play a romantic hero. I want to tell everyone that I am a dancer as well. I might not be one of the finest dancers around, but I can catch the beat, and have done several stage shows in my college days. I want [filmmakers] to write a script [that helps me explore the art].”

On the success of Paatal Lok, the actor said, “Since we delivered a show that was deeply loved by people, the pressure is to deliver something better. I want to explore different roles, otherwise the audience and I will get bored. I must say, I am amazed to read the kind of scripts that have come my way, post the series.”
The second season of the gritty crime drama was to roll early this year. Asked about the update on that front, he said, “We can’t travel due to the current situation, so everything is on hold. We hope to start [shooting] once normalcy is restored.”
