"Nawaz is a committed actor. When we discussed about the physical transformation, he was excited. He will begin working on the character in early 2021. I always wanted to work with him. When this [film] came my way, I couldn't resist narrating it to him," he says of Sejal Shah's upcoming directorial venture that has been penned by Bhavesh Mandalia.
