The actor said that working with SRK is an experience which he will cherish for life. He shared, “Being on this journey with a legend like him is more than a dream come true, it’s like learning a new way to approach acting. His guidance means a lot, and the way he helped me at places where I was getting stuck to bring out the best is what truly makes him the most kind and warm person that he is.” 

Talking about his character, Anil said, “In the movie, my character is reflecting on life in a small town like where I come from. I’ve seen and lived those experiences, and I tried to bring those everyday moments into the character. It’s not just about acting; it’s about making the roles matter, making them real for the audience. I believe people will connect with the character because it’s genuine, relatable, and tells a story that feels like home.”
