I hope the audience will like the character. Also I want to share that I got a superb team to work with. All the actors are experts in themselves and know their job well. In these years, I have seen a growing sense of performance among actors. The reason for the same could be the growing competence or (laughing…) maybe the race to the 100-crore club!”
