Actress Ritika Anand, who features in and has produced the four-episode web series, Jl 50, says that although she was always keen to cast Abhay Deol as protagonist of the show, she and writer-director Shailender Vyas were initially apprehensive about approaching him. She added she feels fortunate to have a cast that includes Pankaj Kapur and Piyush Mishra along with Abhay.
Talking about the casting of Abhay in as Shantanu Ritika in the sci-fi thriller, she said: "Abhay was the first choice and an intimidating one too. We had heard so much about how he only gives a nod to excellent scripts. We had confidence in the script but we weren't sure how he'd take the time travel angle of the story. However, upon Shailender and Piyush ji's suggestion, we sent Abhay the script and after a few anxious nights, we heard that he loved the premise of the story and the script of the film.
