In the trailer, Annu is seen as a strict, highly competitive money maker who heads a popular coaching institute in Kota that sells education at the cost of students’ ambitions, passion, mental peace, and happiness. The show portrays the gradual unlearning of this kind of education system that conditions people to follow the rat race of unrealistic academic goals in a trade-off for other joys and passions in life.

Annu, who is known to be a versatile actor, has previously worked on a wide gamut of roles. Incidentally, this role too is quite different from what he has done in the past.
Discussing how he was roped in to be part of the show, Annu says, “I always tried to play different types of roles and in that process, I heard the script of Crash Course which is so unique, perfect, and well-written that I got attracted to it and I think that if I had not played this character, I would have regretted it. I believe that along with time, the education system has also changed a lot and the coaching institutes play an important role in it.”
Besides the veteran actor, the series also has a star-studded cast including Bhanu Uday and Pranay Pachauri and other young talents like Hetal Gada, Bhavesh Balchandani, and Riddhi Kumar, to name a few.
Crash Course will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 5.
