Angad plays a crucial part of the Indian cricket team in the film and the movie takes the audience into the psyche of the cricket team. As far as his look goes, Angad underwent a series of trials and changes before nailing the final ones for the film based on what his character is.

Angad says, “He is a gregarious and magnetic character. My character Robin has the bad boy charm. He is the super star of the team. He is passionate and dedicated about his game. But he gets insecure and the consequences make him human and real. The players look up to him. He has groomed people and everyone around wants to emulate him. Abhishek has given a complex behaviour pattern to explore. I love the graph of the character – glory, dejection, failure, success. He is very different from my personality and I understand the psyche of a sportsperson and all these emotions came alive to me while playing this character.”

My character is meant to be is very high on fashion, wears high end branded clothes; he likes flashy cars because he is so popular.
