It is a good deviation from the kind of roles I have been picking but it is a strong part and new and fresh character to see a south Asian actor to be in. From a representation point of view, it is exciting for me. “
Talking about the film Pippa, he said, “It is a big responsibility to take on a part like this. We have put in a lot of work. It is a film that makes you inspired. It’s a beautiful character. The best part of the film is it is a coming of age story, inside that our drama has been weaved.”
