Jackie Shroff portrays the role of Pushpak and Vijay Varma portrays the role of Sajan Kundu in Hotstar Specials’ OK Computer, releasing 26th March for subscribers of Disney+ Hotstar VIP and Disney+ Hotstar Premium ~
If the 3 Laws of Robotics prevent any AI from harming a human being, then what made a self-driving car run over a man in the quaint streets of North Goa? Well, bhavishya mein aapka swagat hai! Disney+ Hotstar VIP welcomes you to the year 2031 with Hotstar Specials OK Computer - India’s first sci-fi comedy. A series that gives you a sneak peek into the near future, a future that has arrived faster than anyone could imagine, and a future in which there are no legal or moral precedents for crimes committed by A.I for justice systems to follow, and the question of who to blame persists! As the case progresses, and cybercrime detective, Saajan Kundu (Vijay Varma) - one who has an unflappable prejudice against robots clashes with the feisty Laxmi (Radhika Apte) a tech-positive, empathetic, resourceful representative of 'People for the Ethical Treatment of Every Robot (PETER)' to solve this murder mystery, one can only expect the unimaginable to happen.
Jackie Shroff pulls off his role as Pushpak, as a cult leader who is seen without any clothes in the entire season. In one particular scene, Vijay Verma had to carry Jackie Shroff on his back
Speaking about the scene, Jackie Shroff says, “I am sure piggybacking for this scene was not as comfortable for Vijay as it was for me. I literally put my entire weight on his back as my character, Pushpak was supposed to look least bothered with what was happening around him…whether he was being arrested or the fact that he was not wearing any clothes. My brief for the scene was very simple..to not give a damn about anything and just let things happen. It was Vijay on the other hand who had to portray a complex feeling of seeing a naked man standing in front of him without a care in the world and then the dilemma of how to arrest an eccentric person like Pushpak. I feel that both of us along with all the other actors in the scene played our part to make it as hilarious as possible"
