Sanjay Kapoor on 'Ab Hoga Hisaab': revenge drama marks his bold return
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actor Sanjay Kapoor, who largely stepped away from the screen after the late 2000s, has revealed what drew him back to acting with the upcoming revenge drama 'Ab Hoga Hisaab', set to stream exclusively on Amazon MX Player from 18 June. The series marks one of his most prominent roles in recent years, and he says the material itself made the decision easy.
What pulled Sanjay Kapoor to the project
Kapoor, who plays a character named Goldy in the series, described the script as layered and emotionally grounded. “What drew me to Ab Hoga Hisaab was the intensity of its characters and the complexity of its world,” he said. “One of the things I personally loved about the series is how beautifully it explores relationships and bonds that are deeply personal and relatable to all of us. The story is layered, unpredictable, and full of twists and turns.”
Kapoor had previously marked a notable return to the screen with the 2018 Netflix anthology 'Lust Stories', signalling a gradual re-engagement with the industry after years away from leading roles.
A strong ensemble cast
The revenge drama assembles a wide cast, with Shaheer Sheikh, Mouni Roy, Avinash Mishra, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Harman Singha, and Aasheema Vardaan all in pivotal parts. Sheikh, who plays a character named Bobby, spoke about what attracted him to the role. “One of the things that instantly drew me to Bobby was his unwavering sense of loyalty towards the people he loves, especially his brother,” he said. “At his core, he is someone who will go to any length to protect his family, and that emotional drive shapes every decision he makes throughout the series.”
Avinash Mishra’s streaming debut
Avinash Mishra, who marks his OTT debut with this series, plays a character called Bunty. “Bunty as a character is very layered, playing him was a rewarding experience, as he is a character with a lot of heart and depth,” Mishra said. He added that working alongside Kapoor and the rest of the cast made the journey “truly memorable,” and described the series as “especially meaningful” as his first project on the platform.
Where and when to watch
'Ab Hoga Hisaab' will be available to stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player starting 18 June. The show’s revenge-driven premise, combined with a cast spanning both digital-native and legacy Bollywood talent, positions it as one of the more anticipated free-streaming releases of the month.
