Mumbai, Nov 28 Actor Anuj Singh Duhan, who is seen in the war film ‘Pippa’, has opened up on his camaraderie with lead star Ishaan Khatter, sharing how the two bonded well on the sets, adding they even shared the rooms.
‘Pippa’ is not only earning praise for its compelling storyline, but is also gaining attention for the remarkable on-screen chemistry and friendship between Ishan and Anuj.

From shared workouts to a mutual love for music, the camaraderie between the two actors extends beyond the confines of the film set.
Talking about his experience working with Ishan, Anuj said: “Ishan and I bonded really well on sets, we even shared the room. Having a workout partner was great and infact we had very gruelling training sessions at army camps.”
