We were about to go on floors but had to cancel our shoot, but the preparations are on again. Ajay sir is ready and the players are back at practice. We will be resuming very soon," says Amit.

Further talking about the preperations, he says, "We are left primarily with our sports sequences, for which we were building a set in Mumbai, but it was affected due to the monsoons as most of it was open air, so we've had to start from scratch, but we intend to shoot in Mumbai itself."

I have seen people and been a part of their journey in these turbulent times, and this has taught me a lot. I simply put my experience to play here, and I feel that’s what made the impact."
