When asked how his role and the movie in general is unique than the ones he's done before, he says, "I've essayed many roles in my career, strangely I haven't worked in a film which focuses on this special brother-sister bond, something which is so relatable and universal. Actually I don't think we have many such films in our industry. So, in that sense, I got to try something new."
