"When 'She' came, I was extremely intrigued. I thought there must be something to the story if it has come from his (Ali's) mind," Vijay told PTI.
The "Gully Boy" star plays Sasya, a narcotic dealer who embarks on complex relationship with Aaditi's character, Bhumika Pardesi in the series. Vijay said he was initially confused about how to play the "volatile" character, when Ali made an interesting pitch: That Sasya thinks he's the hero in his head.
"It's fantastical character. I know people like him exist. People who are so openly brutal and sadistic in expressing themselves. I loved the character a lot more when I saw everyone around me love that part. There are a lot of shades to this person."
Co-directed by Arif Ali and Avinash Das, "She" will start streaming from March 20.
