Kasauti Zindagii Kay actor Parth Samthaan has been roped in to play a gangster in the show "Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu". "I am extremely excited about this new project as it is my first full-fledged web venture with ALTBalaji. It's a gangster-based show from the '90s and my character is inspired by a true story," Parth said.

"I have been known for playing a perfect hero kind on television which has received immense love from my fans and audiences. With this show, I am venturing into a completely new territory and viewers will get to see me in a completely different avatar. The character has its own machismo, attitude, glamour style from the '90s and far from the usual stuff," he added.
