With an impressive rating of 8.3 on IMDB, this captivating series follows the life of Sanjay Sharma (played by Vishal Vashishtha), who hails from a small village near Kota and is constantly triggered by comparison and competition at home. The black sheep of his middle-class family, always referred to as “Manoj ka chota bhai”, he makes it to IIE Bombay, which marks a stepping stone in his journey. Through determination and hard work, Sanjay rises to the top and establishes his name in the competitive start-up industry, earning widespread recognition in his hometown.
Sharing tidbits about the entrepreneurial drama series, actor Vishal Vashishtha reveals he wasn’t originally offered the lead role of Sanjay Sharma. He shared, “Although I was roped in for Hustlers, I wasn’t originally going to play Sanjay. It so happened that the team later approached me to essay the role of Sanjay. I was really looking forward to playing the part that I was initially offered because it seemed far from who I was, and brought something new to the table. But when Sanjay was offered to me, I was obviously super excited. After all, he is the protagonist, and the show revolves around him. It was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss.”
Adding to this, Vishal also shared his opinion on the current start-up scenario in the country, saying, “First of all, the fact that people of India have the courage and the vision to venture into the start-up ecosystem is commendable in itself. It’s also wonderful how so many individuals are coming up with their unique contributions to society as well as the nation at large.”
