"We are done with more than half of 'Gully Boy's shooting. After I wrap that in April-May, I will immediately be diving to 'Simmba'. I am very excited to be working with Rohit sir for the first time on a feature film."
"It's a big one for me as he is the king of masala films, which I love more than any other kind of film. So this is something I believe I was born to do. I feel extremely blessed that I have the opportunity to work with best filmmakers in the business - from Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Zoya Akhtar to Kabir Khan to Rohit sir," he concluded.
