Mohan opts out of his debut Kannada serial citing creative differences

Senior actor and director, Mohan has quit the supernatural soap opera

Naagini 2

which is one of the popular television shows on the

Kannada small screen

. The serial is directed and produced by

K S Ramji

. Naagini 2 marked the debut of Mohan on the small screen as an actor, after his stint on Bigg Boss.

Mohan says, “I enjoyed portraying the role of Digvijaya, sporting a salt and pepper look. The character had negative shades and struck a chord with viewers. After having served in the film industry for over two decades, I forayed into serials with Naagini 2. The role of Digvijaya helped me reach every household. Such is the impact of the small screen. As everything has to come to an end, I have decided to bid adieu to the serial because of creative differences. I had a wonderful time with the team members who were like my family.”

The actor, who is part of films like

Ravi Bopanna

and

Ithyartha

, says, “I will be seen as a retired government employee in Ravi Bopanna, while Ithyartha marks my debut as a solo hero.” On the personal front, Mohan's parents and son have tested positive for COVID-19. “First my father and mother tested positive. Luckily, they have recovered and are out of danger and now my son has tested positive. He is currently under home quarantine. The situation in Bengaluru is critical. I request people to stay house to control the pandemic,” he states.
