How is 'Chanakya' going to be and how excited are you about its release?
The output of the film has been terrific and we all are very confident that it will be a big success.Though I've acted in quite a few action films so far, 'Chanakya' is my first spy thriller.

Initially, we wanted to release the film in May. But because of my injury, the shoot has been delayed and then we decided to release the film during Dussehra season. The release date of 'Sye Raa' was not confirmed then. We haven't changed our plans to release the film during this festive season.
