The Hero turned Location Scout-cum-Tourist Guide for the cast of Hitler Didi

Fresh-face, chocolate hero Sumit Vats who plays the male lead opposite the talented Rati Pandey in Zee TV’s upcoming primetime show Hitler Didi had a rather interesting twin-profile during the show’s outdoor shoot in Delhi. While Sumit got into the garb of his character Rishi by the day, serenading and wooing Rati’s character Indira, he was busy moon-lighting as the show’s location scout by the night.

With Sumit having spent all his childhood days and his college years in Delhi, he once told producer Ila Bedi Dutta that he knows every nook and cranny of the city. That very moment, Ila asked him to double up as the location co-ordinator for the Delhi schedule and help procure permissions to shoot at suitable hot spots in the city.

Not only did Sumit assist the crew with locations within Delhi, he is said to have literally taken the cast and crew of Hitler Didi on a guided tour of the city on their days off. From showing them around India Gate, Qutub Minar and Lal Qila to letting them shop their heart out at Khan Market, Janpath and Connaught Place to giving them a taste of Delhi’s most mouth-watering delicacies at Nirula’s, Nathu’s, Delhi Haat, Bengali Market, Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony…this boy did it all!

"I love Delhi as I've grown up here, spent my college years here. I have so many memories attached to practically every little bylane of the city. So it was a joy to show all my co-stars a good time exploring the city and sharing so many anecdotes from my life!" said Sumit.

From the sound of it, Sumit seems to be just like his character Rishi on the show, bringing a smile to everyone’s faces wherever he goes!

‘Hitler Didi’ premieres on Zee TV at 8 PM, starting Monday, 7th November.
