We further asked him about his admiration for John Abraham and how was it sharing screen space with him. He shares, “Working with John sir and Sharvari was a great experience. I couldn’t have asked for better co-actors in my first film. I am big John Abraham fan and I had his posters in my room growing up, so working with him in my debut film is like a dream come true. He is the sweetest on set. We all know him as this superstar, but he is so grounded and considerate towards everyone. It didn’t feel like I am meeting this superstar for the first time. He treated me with the respect of a co-actor and made me feel so comfortable. We used to talk about fitness, family and films. He is a really great guy.”
