Excited, nervous, anxious; what all is going in your mind, now that your debut film, Bad Boy will be hitting the silver screen soon?

NC: Firstly, I’m extremely thankful and grateful that I got my first film. Getting to work with a producer like Sajid Qureshi and a director as prolific as Rajkumar Santoshi was a dream come true. I could’ve never asked for a better debut. But, as the release date comes closer, I’ll be a bit more nervous; people are actually going to watch me on the silver screen. Anxious? No, because when you have such a great team support, there is no need to be anxious. But excited? Oh my God, yes, I’m going to have butterflies in my stomach or in my head. Maybe all over.

AQ: I am super excited for everyone to see Bad Boy because we have put in our blood, sweat, and tears into this film. I am also nervous at the same time, because this is our everything and it is going to be out for the world to see in just a few months. It is definitely overwhelming, but also thrilling at the same time.

How was the experience working with the ace director, Rajkumar Santoshi? Any favourite memory you have while shooting with him that you’d like to share with us?
