Fans and actors do not know what to expect for season two of "Sense8," the Neftlix sci-fi original series created by the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski. Actor Purab Kohli, who plays Rajan Rasal, opened up about what he would like to see for his character.

While speaking to The News Hub, Kohl stated that he agrees with fans who think that his character is suspiciously perfect.

"[H]e's too good to be true and I'm hoping he reveals some shades of grey in the seasons to follow," Kohli said.

Rajan is engaged to Kala, who is one of the members of the main cluster that is introduced season one. The cluster includes eight sensates who are mentally connected to one another. As the sensates learn about their new ability, they get better at tapping into each other's skill sets in order to get out of dangerous situations.

In the first season, Rajan appears to be madly in love with Kala. His character is very sweet and very understanding even when his father gets stabbed while visiting Kala at the temple.

"Love is a strange thing, I guess, and Rajan surely feels a heavy surge of it for Kala," he said reported by the Latin Post.

Kohli revealed that even though he thinks his character might be a bit suspicious, he has no idea what Rajan's role in season two will be since the Wachowskis have not told him anything about his character.

"When I questioned Lana while shooting the first season, her smile and hand gestures revealed nothing!" Kohli said.

With no details available for season two, many fans believe that Rajan will have to fight for Kala's love in season two. In the first season, Kala starts to question her engagement to Rajan even more after she meets Wolfgang, a member of her cluster (Kala only meets Wolfgang via their sensate abilities and not in real life).

Spoilers Alert**

At the end of season one, Kala witnesses Wolfgang's violence as he goes on a killing spree in order to save his best friend, Felix. Wolfgang also tells Kala that he is not good for her and that she should marry Rajan.

Aside from talking about his character, Kohli also talked about filming in India.

"For me it's hard to digest a traditional Indian Marriage or a Hindu temple setting with English being spoken. But you are catering to audiences from around the world and they have to get the essence of what is going on, and I think the writing really caught that well," Kohli said. "I honestly liked how Mumbai was portrayed. Lord Ganesh is a favorite in Mumbai, and the Ganesh festival is definitely the high point of the year, and the show got that energy bang on. After 'Slumdog Millionaire,' people from around the world who had never visited would imagine images of dumping grounds -- associating them with the city. There are many flavors to Mumbai, and I think Sense8 has managed to capture a new and exciting visual of Mumbai for the world to see."

There is currently no premiere date for season two. Season one of "Sense8" premiered on June 5th.
