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.

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.
