Back with my favourite Rajkummar Rao and wonderful to be working with Nushrat Bharucha. Looking forward to this exciting collaboration with Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg.” The actor-director duo has worked together in critically acclaimed films like Shahid, Citylights, Aligarh and Omerta.

Right from the beginning of our journey it has been lovely. When we did ‘Shahid’, it changed our lives. In ‘City Lights’ and ‘Aligarh’ and we explored different characters.”
