It is a new challenge for me. I'm taking baby steps. It will go on till I don't reach the peak. My focus is on films and OTT right now.''

Talking about his aspirations of working with actors, actresses and directors, he said, ''I would have taken 5 to 6 names if I was asked this a few years ago. But now, the kind of work I see, the range is so wide. I want to work with so many directors. I want to get inspired by many actors and work with them. The range is massive now.''
