Her cousin Niraj (played by Gyanendra) is a CA aspirant who has failed two CA finals and is nicknamed as “Half CA,” which means that he has all the information of a CA but hasn’t become one. They face hurdles to attain the same aim in Mumbai, the financial hub of India. Will they become CAs or remain half-CAs?
Prit Kamani who plays Tejas in Half CA shares how growing up he was always into studies, here’s what the actor said, “I like to research about various subjects. I was generally an above average student in school, but during my boards I hit it out of the park. I was an IGCSE student, and held a world rank in Biology. Then I switched to commerce and later went on to pursue BMM which comes under Arts. So all in all, I am a learner.”
The actor also shares how he resonated with his character in Half CA, “The fact that he’s a charming, carefree, fun-loving Bombay boy, that brings us quite close (laughs) But personally, I try to discover the character in me rather than becoming a different person. Because if there’s a shade of me, then I can be the only one to play that character in the whole world”
Half CA is streaming exclusively on Amazon miniTV, which you can watch for free on the Amazon shopping app and on Fire TV.
