While ardent fans of Sacred Games devoured the show's second season as soon as it dropped online, Saurabh Sachdeva — aka Suleiman Isa — sheepishly reveals that he hasn't finished watching the latest edition yet. However, he is fully aware that the show served as a catalyst in his career.

"I didn't know that I would be pitted against a strong character like Ganesh Gaitonde," begins Sachdeva, who plays Nawazuddin Siddiqui's arch-nemesis in the crime thriller. "Nawaz bhai is one of the most brilliant actors we have in this country. His knowledge of the art is so comprehensive that I enjoy his company and our conversations. We both have a common language of acting, and there is so much to learn from him."
