Sabila Nur's much-awaited debut web-series, "Mercules" has been praised for its bold content and multi-starrer cast. Everyone has been raving about Sabila's spectacular performance as Joyeeta, a rather complex and layered character.

How was the response to 'Mercules'?

The response to "Mercules" has been fantastic. I was a bit nervous as this was my first web-series, but everyone liked the project and praised my acting.

People have been raving over your performance as Joyeeta. How does that make you feel?

I worked hard to get into the skin of my character. "Mercules" focuses on Joyeeta's journey. Through her story, the stories of the other characters—like Mamo and Saberi Apu—come to life for the audience. My goal was to make my audience feel the same emotions as Joyeeta while she searches for answers. My greatest joy came when some people connected with Joyeeta and told me they started crying after seeing my performance. This touched my heart.

Your dance performance with Mamo on Mercules' song, 'Tomar Kothar Malay', went viral on social media.

I am really lucky that I could share this incredible performance with Mamo apu. Everybody loved it. I don't think most fans know I come from a dance background. I came into showbiz through my dance and then slowly transitioned to TV. It's always a delight to share scenes, dances, and events with Mamo apu.

Will we get a second season of 'Mercules' anytime soon?

As an audience member, I am also eager to find out whether "Mercules" season 2 will come out. The series finale was left open-ended, as we could only hear his voice. However, I will be really happy if I get to see him on-screen next season.
