Abhay Verma calls Hansal Mehta, A.R. Rahman, Lijo Jose Pellissery his 'gurus'
Mumbai, March 21
Actor Abhay Verma has commenced the shooting for his next, "Dilkashi" with filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, and Lijo Jose Pellissery.
Spilling his excitement about his next, the 'Munjya' actor said that he feels that finally his work has reached the people who have been his inspiration.
Calling the three his 'Gurus', Abhay said that it is times like these that make one believe in destiny and the grace of God.
He said, "It feels like my work has reached the very people I've always looked up to. A. R. Rahman sir, Hansal Mehta sir, and Lijo Jose Pellissery sir have been a constant source of inspiration for me, and to have my name mentioned alongside theirs is something I still find hard to believe. They've been my gurus in every sense. Moments like these make you believe in something bigger, in grace, destiny, and in God a little more."
With the story penned by Karan Vyas, the project will also star Zahan Kapoor in a key role, along with others.
Sharing the announcement on social media, the makers wrote, "#Dilkashi releasing at your nearest cinemas soon #ItStartsHere

His humility is refreshing. Calling them his gurus shows he's here to learn, not just be a star. After Munjya's success, he's not letting it get to his head. Good for him!
The project sounds interesting, but I hope the final product lives up to this dream team announcement. Sometimes the hype is bigger than the movie. Fingers crossed!
Lijo Jose Pellissery directing a Hindi film? That's the real news for me! His Malayalam films are masterpieces. This collaboration could bring something very fresh to Bollywood.
Between Dilkashi, King with SRK, and Laikey Laikaa... Abhay Verma is having a dream run. From a supporting actor to leading projects with legends, his journey is inspiring for every outsider.
AR Rahman's music alone is a reason to watch. And with Zahan Kapoor also in the cast, there's some serious young talent here. Hope the story by Karan Vyas is strong.
