We Don’t Need to Wear a Cape to Be a Superhero”, Divyenndu on Playing an Ordinary Man with Extraordinary Intentions in MX Original Waiting Hai on Prime Video

Mumbai, India – 22nd September 2026: Prime Video, India’s largest streaming service for exclusive Originals, has released its latest MX Original, Waiting Hai, a quirky scam dramedy set against the chaos of railway ticket bookings. A Jio Studios presentation and Jar Pictures Production, the series is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker and Series Director Sameer Vidwans and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Ajay Rai. Waiting Hai stars Divyenndu and Bhuvan Arora in the lead, alongside a stellar ensemble including Harshita Gaur, Kumud Mishra, Vijay Maurya, Srushti Tare and Sunita Rajwar in pivotal roles.

At the centre of the story is Sugam Mishra, a railway constable drawn into an investigation after noticing irregularities in the ticketing system. As his pursuit takes him deeper into an increasingly complicated world, Sugam remains guided by a straightforward sense of right and wrong, even when standing up for what he believes in comes at a cost.

Talking about what drew him to the character, Divyenndu shared, “I think what really drew me to Sugam was how pure-hearted he is and how genuine his intentions are. In today’s day and age, when we all have so much going on, you seldom come across someone like Sugam, who is so pure at heart, almost to the extent of being naive, and yet believes that he can change things. He gets himself into a lot of trouble along the way, but that is what makes his journey interesting. It shows that when an honest individual dares to stand up against something unjust, there will always be challenges, whether it is bureaucracy or hierarchy, but you can still find a way through them. That core of Sugam, of going against all odds, is what really attracted me to him.”

On bringing Sugam’s simplicity and relatability to the character, Divyenndu added, “I always believe in grounding my characters so that, even if you can not fully relate to them, there is some degree of humanity that draws you towards them. That’s especially important while playing Sugam. I wanted to hold on to this man’s simplicity. Maybe he is not the brightest person in the room, but he has all the right intentions and the courage to follow that inner voice. That is the beauty of Sugam, and I think that is also why people are connecting with him. We don’t need to wear a cape to be a superhero.”

Blending humour, chaos and suspense, Waiting Hai explores how one seemingly ordinary attempt to secure a confirmed railway ticket can spiral into a much larger chain of events.
