In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Abhay Verma opened up on his ‘inspiration’ Hrithik Roshan, and shared, “From being a junior artist to leading a film within Phantom Studios, my life truly feels like it has come full circle. I'm filled with two powerful emotions right now. While working on Super 30, I used to slyly watch Hrithik Sir perform, absorbing every nuance. Now, on the set of Laikey Laikaa, if someone perhaps slyly watches me while I'm performing, I deeply hope to be an inspiration to that person, just as I was inspired by Hrithik Sir.”

The Munjya actor also talked about his journey and stressed, “Another thing I want to share is that this journey is an answer to all those who grapple with doubts about acceptance, about whether their dreams will come true, or if their hard work will ever pay off. I want my journey to be a living answer to every actor who comes to Mumbai, and to all the apprehensions they carry in their hearts.”

Earlier, Shujaat took to Instagram Stories and dropped the photo from the sets of the film. A hand holding a clapperboard can be seen along with a date written on it. Though the title of the film hasn’t been revealed, ‘JC’ could be seen written on the board. 

The filmmaker tagged his lead actors, Shanaya Kapoor and Abhay Verma. The duo also reshared the picture on their Instagram Stories.
