Actor Rohit Saraf who is recently spotted in the web series Mismatched season 2 is equally channelizing his success in Vikram Vedha. In an interview, he spoke about how he was about to skip on the film due to issues in scheduling, however acted as a savior in the eleventh hour and delayed his on board call.

In a candid interaction with Puja Talwar, Rohit said, “I just hoped to not be in a situation where I would have to leave this film because my dates were not available. I would be so upset about it, that’s exactly what happened. Dates (for the Vikram Vedha and Mismatched shoot) were exactly the same.”
“Hrithik sir called my Mismatch director Akarsh Khurana, and he said ‘I need him (Rohit Saraf) to come and do this part because I believe he is perfect for it’. That’s when Akarsh managed some days. But then, Hrithik sir understood we couldn’t cancel the entire schedule of Mismatched here. So, the entire schedule of Vikram Vedha got pushed by 5 days. They waited for me to come and be a part of it. When I heard Hrithik sir himself called my director to get my dates, that day I was like ‘even if this film doesn’t work out I’m ok with it because I know what this means to me. How big of a deal this is,” the actor added.
Rohit Saraf have a lot in store, he will be now seen in Ishq Vishq Rebound alongside Hrithik’s cousin Pashmina Roshan. The film is helmed by Nipun Dharmadhikari, also featuring Jibraan Khan and Naila Grewal in pivotal roles.
