But it's a beautiful role and when they approached me for it, I loved it and immediately said yes to it. Kangana is a fantastic actress and I remember her joking about me leaving movies and why I should have never left. She's such a great performer and a person that she adds to her co-star's performance as well. I can't wait to go back to the sets again." The film shoot was stalled after the Corona virus outbreak in the country and currently, the team is regularly in touch to figure out a new schedule for the biopic.
