On playing the lead, he said, ''I always wanted to be a leading man. Since childhood when I dreamt of becoming an actor, I always wanted to play the lead and work with good people. I am blessed to be working with Vidhu Vinod Chopra sir. We have been watching his films since childhood and his films have inspired and entertained us so much that getting a chance to work with him and also play the leading man was an opportunity which I consider myself very lucky.''
