Actor Siddharth, who is debuting in the OTT space with Disney+ Hotstar’s ‘Escaype Live’, is thoroughly impressed by creator Siddharth Kumar Tewary and his passion.

Working with Tewari has been an amazing experience for the actor and he shares, “I think one of my biggest motivations while working on ‘Escaype Live’ has been my meetings and interaction with Siddharth Kumar Tewary who is the creator of the show and my namesake.

“I have been involved with Sid since the day I came on board with this project a couple of years ago and had the privilege of sitting for script discussions, character development with Sid. It has been a great experience for me. I like to know what we are doing, how we are doing it, and what I need to give as well to deliver what’s expected from me. For all of this, Siddharth has been generous with his inputs, his kindness, his belief.”
