Agastya Nanda recalls his first meeting with Sriram Raghavan
Reacting to Sriram Raghavan’s appreciation Agastya Nanda expressed feeling emotional. Recalling his first meeting with the director, The Archies star revealed that it was a crazy experience. He said that before starting the Zoya Akhtar film, he went around introducing himself to a lot of people because he did not have social media and people did not know what he looked like. It was then that he went to producer Dinesh Vijan’s office and asked him for work. Two days after meeting him the producer called him to his office and that is when he met the Andhadhun director for the first time and came to know about being offered Ikkis.
