My guess is
In normal circumstances KP would not have taken this role but in this corona situation, things are very uncertain, any new good projects in movie or web series (apart from ALT Balaji ones) is not likely happen soon and he didn't want to wait too long based on past experience. Also, he can't say no to Ekta and I'm sure Ekta is the one who convinced him for this. Besides, I recently read an IV of him where he mentioned he is looking for negative/grey/anti-hero roles, Mr Bajaj is like that. Plus, money would be very good with comparatively less work.
So, I am not entirely against his choice. It would be interesting experiment. But he needs to be careful as he will be on the set for a good amount of time for 5 days a week during this pandemic. And hope, he doesn't get stereotyped doing roles of a father of grown up kids. That's the only negative side.
