The lyrics, penned by Naresh Katyayan, Amit Maru, and Phanindra Rao, further enhanced the emotional depth of the performance. The two shows of the play will be held on Sunday at 2pm and 7pm.
"I am playing the role of Lord Krishna after a long time. The thing which I learnt from the character is Compassion. If you have compassion, everything in life will go in the right direction. As an actor, it is the same to play the role for theatre or TV. There is no difference in playing the character but yes its preparation can be different. There is no cut in the theatre. I love to play different characters," said actor Sourabh Raaj Jain.
