Here's
what
the
actor
had
to
say
about
the
whole
journey!
1.
How
difficult
was
it
for
you
to
make
a
horror
mystery
like
Tumbbad?
Tumbbad
is
not
just
a
horror
mystery,
the
movie
is
also
filled
with
fantasy,
thriller,
drama
and
other
things
that
will
take
the
audiences
to
a
world
full
of
surprises.
Thankfully,
it
wasn't
difficult
for
me
to
make
Tumbbad,
as
I
fell
in
love
with
the
script
immediately.
It's
a
meaningful
film
with
larger
than
life
characters
and
has
a
lot
of
emotions
and
drama.
In
fact,
I've
been
impressed
with
these
kind
of
movies
right
from
my
childhood.
I've
been
very
passionate
about
Tumbbad
and
thankfully,
it
was
not
difficult
at
all.
2.
Tumbbad
will
open
the
Venice
Critics
week.
How
does
it
feel
to
be
a
part
of
this
great
achievement?
I
feel
overwhelmed
and
it
felt
as
good
as
receiving
an
unexpected
gift.
It
really
came
as
a
surprise
to
me.
When
the
announcement
was
made,
I
was
in
absolute
joy.
3.
How
did
it
feel
when
Sanju
director
Rajkumar
Hirani
called
Tumbbad
a
"visually
stunning
film"?
When
a
big
film-maker
like
Rajkumar
Hirani
appreciated
Tumbbad,
I
felt
like
I've
made
a
difference
in
the
film
world
and
his
words
brought
me
great
positivity.
I
felt
great
when
he
tweeted
about
it
and
was
overwhelmed
when
he
appreciated
my
journey.
4.
You've
worked
with
Kangana
Ranaut
in
Simran.
What
are
your
thoughts
about
the
raging
debate
on
nepotism?
Do
you
support
it?
Nepotism
is
there
in
every
industry
and
not
just
in
the
movie
business.
I
do
understand
that
outsiders
find
it
hard
to
get
a
break,
but
the
fact
is
that
nepotism
exists
everywhere.
For
example,
take
a
family
business,
you
inherit
it
from
your
father
and
continue
doing
it,
it's
there
in
every
industry
and
sometimes
you
can't
do
anything
about
it.
5.
You've
worked
with
Irrfan
Khan
in
Talvar.
Are
you
in
touch
with
him
and
have
updates
regarding
his
health?
As
of
now
no,
I
have
no
updates
on
Irrfan
Khan's
health,
but
I
do
wish
him
a
speedy
recovery
and
that
is
what
I
pray
to
God
for.
He's
an
excellent
actor
and
I
wish
he
gets
back
and
starts
doing
movies
and
entertain
the
audiences
once
again.
6.Do
you
have
plans
to
star
with
other
big
Bollywood
celebrities?
I'm
waiting
for
Tumbbad's
release
first
and
the
rest
will
be
seen
later.
In
fact,
I'm
working
on
two
new
scripts
already
and
will
let
the
public
know
as
and
when
I
lock
the
script.
So
stay
tuned!
