Also, I’ve always admired Manasi as an actor and wanted to work with her. The role challenged me and I felt this is the best opportunity to expand my horizon.”

Actor-Producer, Manasi Parekh added, “We are thrilled to have Swapnil onboard. It definitely elevates the film both in terms of creative and commercial values. Given his body of work, I’m both jumpy and excited to share screen space with him. We have already met for look tests and workshops, exchanged our initial notes and now waiting to roll.”
