Unlike the beloved character of Raj, which Kunal played from 2007 to 2019, the actor plays Sandeep Singh, a murderous businessman who promises the detectives valuable information for a reduction in prison time.

Speaking about Kunal's role to HELLO! and other reporters, Katherine said: "Most of our guest actors are probably known for a certain character, and even perhaps a particular genre as well. There's a lot more flavours in them and they want to show that they can absolutely do that – and all of them really can. I find it really thrilling to watch people transform."

Shubham Saraf, who plays officer Kyle Petit on the show, added: "I was like, 'Woah - [Kunal] is incredible.' The only thing you’ve seen him in before is so sort stereotypical, and brilliant, in its American sitcom set-piece comedy and this was so different."
