Later in the conversation, he revealed that his wife Maheep has also given a shot in the series.

"As an actor, I am always looking to do creatively challenging work. The Gone Game is something I was always confident of, only because of the makers of the show," Shweta said.

Arjun Mathur said: "I never thought of shooting for a show remotely, but I am so glad that I was a part of the crew that made it happen. It was not an easy task coordinating with so many people virtually, but we made it happen."

For director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, working on the show, which streams on Voot Select, came with a lot of learning and unlearning.

"We also had to use some innovative techniques to ensure that the performances do not suffer because of the constraint of physical proximity. We learned and unlearned many aspects from our test shoots as due to the conditions, the process was limited, but it also gave the actors and the technicians a lot of freedom to innovate. It has been an unconventional journey and we hope that the audience will appreciate our vision," he said.
