Munjya’s Abhay Verma opens up about working with Shah Rukh Khan in King: ‘Unke liye to main deewar pe macchar bhi…’
Abhay Verma, who received a lot of love for his performance in the horror comedy Munjya, recently opened up about potentially working with Shah Rukh Khan in King.
King is one of the most anticipated movies in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan is set to collaborate with his daughter Suhana Khan. Earlier, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Abhay Verma, who came into the limelight with Munjya, is part of the cast. Now, in an interview with a news portal, Abhay has opened up about the same and expressed that he could even become a mosquito in the film to work with SRK.
In a recent conversation with CNN-News18 Showsha, Abhay Verma talked about the upcoming movie King. He didn’t confirm being part of the film but expressed his hope that it would happen. Abhay shared that he felt ‘fortunate’ that there are people talking about him being in the film. He said, “But hopefully, fingers crossed, I mean that way I’ll get to meet my God, meet my hero,” referring to Shah Rukh Khan.
Abhay continued by saying that he hadn’t had the chance to meet the superstar yet, but he might cry when he does. He predicted it to be an ‘overwhelming’ moment for him. The Munjya actor stated, “Unke liye toh main deewar pe macchar bhi ban sakta hun puri film mein (For him, I can become a mosquito on the wall in the entire film).” He added that he hoped to live the reality that has been taking place in his mind over the years.
