Thank you, Anil Sunkara for making me a part of the movie. Since the beginning of my career, I have been trying to work with Meher Ramesh. Earlier, because of dates issues and other reasons, we have not been able to work together. But now, it has materialized. I am super excited to do Bholaa Shankar. I wish Meher brings the best out of me with the film. Although the movie is a remake, we try our best to bring the new identity, originality, and essentiality to the movie.”
