In fact, the actor spent hours learning the Eastern UP dialect and decided to make it a part of everyday conversations. Sikander said, “Eastern UP dialect has a very distinct sound and articulation; it is something that I wanted to bring into my character. I started working on the language and diction to perfect it. There were times when I would rehearse it even behind the cameras while having conversations with Anil sir and other cast members.”

24: Season 2 starts on Jul 23, 2016.
