It is really amazing to have got so much love playing an anti-hero in Tiger 3."

Aditya Chopra and Maneesh Sharma created a very unique anti-hero archetype for me to play with and make him my own.I'm delighted that audience gave me love when Tiger 3 released in theatres and the film went on to become a big hit. Now, they are again pouring love on me when Tiger 3 has released on streaming. This is testimony to the fact that the film and its story and its characters have connected to the hearts of audiences."

Disney+ Hotstar and Dharmatic Entertainment have been known to be some of the most quality storytellers in the industry and collaborating with them has been an incredible experience.
