Sanjay Mishra shares screen space with Chakravyuh actor Ruhi Singh in the upcoming web series, 'Runaway Lugaai'. The youngster informs that shooting with the veteran actor was a learning experience.

"I tried to imbibe whatever I could. He would fondly call me Chirkut, which was absolutely hilarious, and I would break into a laugh every time," says Singh.

Talking about her character in the web series, Ruhi adds, "Bulbul is a character that was very exciting to play, mainly because I believe I'm breaking stereotypes. She is definitely exaggerated but I believe that she signifies free spirit and an independent woman who is in her way fighting patriarchy, refusing to give the reins of her life to anyone else -- be it her father or her husband. She is one of those characters that you can really fall in love with or grow to hate but she can't be ignored. She's a dreamer and a fighter. It's very much a comedy of errors but with a message."

Avinash Das's comic caper also stars Naveen Kasturia and Ravi Kishan. It will premiere on MX Player on May 18.

Set in the heartland of India, the web series features Singh as a free-spirited girl named Bulbul, who runs away post her wedding, while Kasturia is seen as Rajnikant Sinha aka Rajni, who ends up being the pawn in the hands of the corrupt system. Das, who has also helmed Swara Bhaskar-starrer 'Anaarkali of Aarah', 'Raat Baaki Hai' starring Anup Soni and the series 'She', said he enjoyed directing 'Runaway Lugaai' as it is a great combination of entertainment and content.
