Discussing more about the differences between the shootings of films and web series, Jimmy said, “While shooting for the series I didn’t find the difference of a single penny between web series and films shootings.

The films are too lengthy and takes lots of time to complete, whereas shooting for web series you don’t even come to know the when it ended.”
