Live on Disney+ Hotstar, it stars Sandeepa Dhar and Vikram Singh Chauhan in the lead “ They say, you don’t take a shot (in films)…..you make a shot. It’s been a learning experience so far. From graduating from FTII pune film school to working with stalwart directors. Each and every project teaches you what to do and what not to do. Personally “Chattis aur Maina” has been very close to me. I got an opportunity to do lot of stuff from dance to romance to drama to holding the scenes with large number of actors in one frame. I met some wonderful people in the course of this show – I think I was blessed to have worked with such amazing people few of them will remain with me forever”
