He states, “Ajay Kadam is a dedicated teacher and the owner of a Karate school called the Dojo. Throughout the story, he holds one end of the narrative and the backdrop is centered around his school and the complex relationships in his life. His bond with his daughter, the estranged connection with his son, and the almost love-hate dynamic with his disciple weave together to form a compelling part of the larger puzzle. And while things start to come together as the story unfolds, the full picture isn’t clear until the very end.”Manav further reveals what traits he shares with his character, highlighting, “For me, it’s all about discipline—there’s no compromise on that. I believe, and my daughter would agree, that I am very disciplined when it comes to time, food, and conduct. Ajay, too, is someone who deeply values discipline, so I think that's why I find a strong connection with him.”
