“Theatre is a different ball game. I feel this is a new journey for me as an actor, since on stage you only have one chance to get it right in front of the audience. There are no retakes,” he explains.

He also shared his experience of working on the play and said, “I have been attending an acting course over the last nine months to understand the intricacies of the craft. It is my duty as an artiste to learn and explore more.”
