Actor Vivek Dahiya recently lived his superhero dream as he got to play a character role inspired by the Hulk in his supernatural thriller show Qayamat Ki Raat.

This show marks his second outing in the supernatural-horror genre & he's not complaining as the show has been well received by the audiences. He shares, ' It's exciting that the makers are taking a different route & are out there experimenting. TV is now booming with similar shows. Makers have hit the right nerve of the audiences & are open to deviate from run of the mill saas-bahu saga.'

In the past, we've been witness to the viewers ridicule Television trying to introduce supernatural characters & flood the internet with memes. However Vivek has no reservations playing such roles, rather he shares an interesting insight, 'Every show has its market set & target audience in place who religiously dedicate time slots for TV viewing. Unless we dramatically go wrong where the audience is not prepared, the makers try to bring in different elements to keep their set loyal viewers entertained. When I signed on the show, I had my reasons. From comedy to romantic to play the tantrik, Hulk & the Mask Man & also Dracula, I've done it all & I personally feel empowered.'

Talking about comparisons being drawn to shows on other websites, 'It's unfair & I don't think people who love our Indian TV shows are drawn towards Hollywood shows. It's a different market & altogether a different TG. Also in the west, the magnitude of shows is unparalleled, they are expansive, bigger budgets, a set research team & time in hand to make every character work & believable. Back home, we work on a TRP module & there are last minute changes to appeal to the mass leaving the makers & creatives less to no time for preparation but if the viewers are happy & glued to the show, their job is done & that is what all of us are aiming for.'
