Earlier, in an interview with Times of India, Shreyas expressed, “the way they stood behind us, it was phenomenal.” Shreyas had previously revealed in conversation with Bombay Times, that he was ‘clinically dead’ after the cardiac arrest and added that this was his second chance at life. He recalled the day and revealed that he was filming action sequences for Ahmed Khan's Welcome To The Jungle at the SRPF grounds in Mumbai. Despite a seemingly smooth shoot, he began experiencing breathlessness and pain in his left hand after the last shot. Initially attributing it to a muscle pull, he found it difficult to walk at that point.
