I feel truly fortunate that I’ve had the chance to work with some of the finest directors of our country, Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, Anurag Kashyap, Neeraj Pandey, R. Balki, Rahul Dholakia  and now Priyadarshan sir. Each of them has taught me so much and me grown not only as an actor but as a human , and I feel blessed that my journey has been shaped by such incredible storytellers. Shooting in Kochi has also been a beautiful experience. Being on set with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, who bring so much energy, discipline, and camaraderie, has been a complete joyride. It’s projects like these that remind me why I fell in love with cinema in the first place.”
