They were one of the producers on ‘Airlift’ so it’s a nice connection with Vikram and his team. I’ve known Sunhil Sippy’s work for a long time now.  He’s an accomplished ad-film maker and I’m very taken with his vision for this film. As for working with Sonakshi, she’s a powerhouse and has an infectious positive vibe on screen. The film is pegged on her and I’m looking forward to what our energies will bring together. Ayan my character in ‘Noor’ is a photojournalist, life’s experiences has made him cynical though his charm and wit makes him attractive”.
