What was your reaction when you came to know that you have been selected to play a pivotal role in Drishyam 2?

I had not seen the first part of Drishyam. During the post-pandemic, I was sitting with my friends and they said let’s watch something. So, they had watched Drishyam a lot of times, and they said let’s watch it again. I told them I have not watched the film, so they were like please watch this movie. Of course, I loved it, and it’s a very beautiful coincidence that after 10 days I got a call from the casting agency and they said we want you to audition for Drishyam 2. I auditioned for a role, and I got selected, but then the director wanted me to audition for another role, I did that, and finally, I got this character, David.

 You got a chance to share screen space with actors like Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Akshaye Khanna. Were you nervous about it?

Honestly, I was not nervous. I was excited that I was getting a chance to work with all these actors. These actors are legends, and they are legends for a reason. I feel their energy is very collaborative and they made me feel very comfortable. Of course, there’s performance pressure because you are working with such big stars. I have watched them since my childhood and now, I was doing scenes with them, so the feeling of excitement was more. I was just observing them and they are beautiful people.
