He discusses the transition and his preparation to play a sign language expert. The film is written and directed by Atul Sabharwal and will be released on ZEE5.

Co-star Ishwak Singh, who portrays a deaf-mute character, described the role as his "dream role." Singh shared, "As an actor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with great talents. The role carries significant responsibilities, as it involves accurately representing the community and shedding light on relevant issues."

Written and directed by Atul Sabharwal, 'Berlin' stars Aparshakti Khurana, Ishwak Singh, Rahul Bose, Anupriya Goenka, and Kabir Bedi. The film will be available on the ZEE5 platform.
