The Kashmir Files actor also wrote a caption, "Cinema is that magical place where anything done with total passion and conviction becomes completely believable. It was nice to touch my younger brother @RajuKher1's feet in a scene in #SoorajBarjatya’s magnum opus #Uunchai. He was awkward but I got cheap thrills. Especially when other personalities in the scene were legendary (sic)"

He also wrote on Twitter along with a series of fun emojis, “During the shooting of #Saaransh #SoorajBarjatya was an assistant and a #ClapperBoy. So it was fun to do the same job while he is directing the magnum opus #Uunchai. Also I got to do a little bit of fooling around!! But genius was too involved in the shot to notice my comedy! (sic)”
