Ankit Arora tells us more about Shaitan, "I play a negative role, who tempts people to commit sins. The true definition of a troublemaker. I am excited to see how this pans out as my strong suit has been in positive and do-good roles. I hope the fans continue to shower me with their love and support and truly enjoy the story of Yeshu."

'Yeshu' is a story of an exceptionally benevolent child who only wants to do good and spread happiness all around him. His love and compassion for all is a stark contrast to the dark, evil forces prevalent during his birth and childhood. Witnessing the various atrocities on his family and in society has a deep impact on him. His attempt to help others and ease their pain often leads to situations where he inevitably ends up being hurt and condemned by the oppressors and the people at large. But even that does not stop Yeshu from continuing his path. It is not only the most iconic story of good versus evil, but it also captures the beautiful relationship between Yeshu and his support and guide - his mother.
