'Working with Mani Sir under his vision is nothing short of legendary, and sharing screen space with Kamal Sir is an honour I could never have imagined when I started out.

He added: 'Anurag Basu's storytelling has always inspired me, and this film is such a beautiful tapestry of human emotions—being part of that is a privilege." The actor is bringing the experiences he gained during his successful stint in the digital space to the big screen with his upcoming films.
"I feel like I've grown so much as an actor in the OTT space, taking on roles that challenged me in ways I didn't expect. Now, as I step back into theatres, I'm bringing all those learnings and experiences with me.' Ali shared: 'I'm excited to share these stories on the big screen, and I can't wait for audiences to join me on this new journey.'
