He also spoke about working with the children of the Bollywood fraternity as he said, “For me, it was already a big deal that I had reached a film set. For all of us, we were debutants. I never felt I’m working with people who were carrying such an immense legacy but that I was working with friends. I felt at home.”
Meanwhile, the actor will be next seen sharing the screen with Bollywood star Alia Bhatt in the upcoming film ‘Jigra’. The film has been directed by Vasan Bala, who made the stellar neo-noir dark comedy ‘Monica, O My Darling’. (IANS)
