Jatin who plays Bunty in the series had an exclusive chat with PeepingMoon.com and expressed his joy at the nomination.
Jatin expressed his pride on Sacred Games’ achievement and told PeepingMoon.com, “It's indeed a proud moment for us as we didn't even imagine that Sacred Games would become so popular. Initially, it didn't become and soon over the weekend, people started to love the web series. Talking about the show being nominated for the prestigious Emmy’s it's an honour that Sacred Games India's first original web show made it there, there are films that struggle hard to get the nomination at the Oscar and here an OTT platform came up with a web series and changed the games. Needless to say, this couldn't have been done without the cast and the crew. Each and everyone associated with the show is proud to be a part of Sacred Games.”
