When he was asked about the pressure of being Mithun’s son, he said, “Ever since I was a child I have been known to be his son. It’s like my name comes second, his name comes first.

Lastly, while elaborating more on his experience, the actor further said,“So I genuinely feel that if Bad boy works on the strength of our performance we will be appreciated, but if we fail, the pressure, the comparison everything will hover on each other.” Later, the Bad Boy actor also spoke about his relationship with his co-star Amrin Qureshi.
