When your name gets attached with Hansal Mehta it turns out to be a great team; how do you look at it?

I think this has been going on for a long time, if an actor and director have the same way of thinking and working. Like Karan Johar- Shah Rukh Khan, or in Hollywood Martin –lio- Martin Robert De Nero. The same way Hansal sir is like my father or older brother. We have a Family Relations. I enjoy working with him without the work pressure.

Which film are you working now?
Currently I am working on Vikramaditya Motwani film which is based on solo character. Later, Newton, which is a black comedy film which will be announced soon. After that Bareli ki Barfi and then there are few Hollywood films.
