"I have always wanted to be a director more than an actor," says Kunal Karan Kapoor, taking us by surprise. After all, his résumé — with popular shows like Left Right Left, Pratigya and Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha — suggests otherwise. Almost two years since his last outing, Woh Apna Sa, the actor and aspiring director has faced the camera again for Voot Select's The Raikar Case.

"I was called for the audition, and I loved the part," begins the actor. The engaging plot of the thriller aside, Kapoor says that he had another reason to come on board the show. "I have always admired Atul Kulkarni's body of work, and wanted to collaborate with him. He is an institution in acting. It was a dream come true."
