While much of the attention surrounding the film has focused on the reunion of the Dev-Shubhashree pair, Anirban has generated considerable interest with his appearance as the character Khoka. His villainous look, featuring reddish-golden hair and red-tinted glasses, has particularly caught the attention of audiences.

Ashfaque Nipun's "Mohanagar" season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, as the last scene introduced Anirban as 'Rojob Ali'. Fans wondered whether it was a short cameo or if we would see more of the "Mukhosh" actor in the upcoming series.
