I'm currently doing ‘Cocktail 2', which is more into a light-hearted romantic space. In fact, I started shooting for Cocktail almost immediately after wrapping ‘O'Romeo', and I was even shooting for it during the promotions. Now that ‘O'Romeo' has released I will begin shooting for ‘Farzi 2', which I'm really excited about. I enjoy switching worlds, it helps reset you as an actor."
