He told Brut India, “I remember bout 10 years ago, I chased him out of a hotel. He was about to get in his car and I was like, ‘Sir please, please I just want to work with you give me, just give me one chance.’ And he just looked at me and sat in his car. Finally, circle of life, he comes back and he actually takes me on as his lead character. It’s nothing short of a blessing and it’s all thanks to God.”
