Back to college

Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub is all geared-up for his soon-to-release Amazon Original Series Tandav. Zeeshan says that he reminisced his college days while shooting for this show. He said, “I re-lived my college days with Tandav. We shot a lot of college sequences in the same college and hostel where I studied (Delhi University North Campus). College days are the building blocks of your life you can’t easily forget. Tandav surrounded me with a wave of nostalgia that brought back emotions attached to it. It was fun shooting in a real college space - we shot 85 per cent of the college scenes in one go.”

The actor adds, “Shooting on campus made me reminisce those good old days when my friends and I didn’t have much money in our pockets, but we had a lot of life in our hearts. Our staple diet was garam chai with Maggi and pulling pranks on classmates. We also shot some sequences in the local theatres of Mandi House. So, I relived my theatre days as well. The best part was going back to the same place where I started years ago.”
