In stark contrast to the comic parts we’ve seen him in, Sunil Grover will be seen pulling off the role of the protagonist in the mystery drama, Sunflower. Laced with dark comedy, the show follows a middle-class housing society in Mumbai, and peppers the thrilling plotline with dark humour.

Grover tells mid-day, “The challenging part was to be honest and simple, and to get into the character’s mindset. To play the part of a man who appears to be a simple guy [is not the same] as playing the role of a simple man. It is a thin line that separates them. This character has many layers, and portraying that is difficult. It took me a while, and many readings, to understand him.”
