"Mahesh sir and I go way back! A few years ago we worked together on a project, so we're quite familiar with each other's style of working. We met one fine day and he mentioned he's working on an ambitious take on the 1962 war and I instantly wanted to be a part of it," Annup said.

"My role of Ranjeet Khatar is a very sweet and nice one. He is constantly competing with Abhay's Suraj Singh but in a friendly way. '1962: The War In The Hills' is a great story and I am glad I am part of a series that focuses on lesser known parts of the war. I think any war story related to your own country can be quite inspiring," he added.
