The actor also has a new OTT show coming up, A Legal Affair.
It's a bittersweet feeling for the actor who is yet to come to terms with the passing away of his father, the legendary cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi.
"It's something I will never come to terms with because he was not just been my father, but also my guru, and my friend. He's the person I was the closest to, and I will miss him every single day of my existence,"
You are simultaneously dabbling in what's popular these days: OTT and pan-India projects. Is this a conscious choice on your part?
Not really.
I just look for good scripts.
I look for the things that I have not done, or the roles that I have not played so far, something that's new and challenging.
I feel South cinema is on its way up, and there are some really nice stories being told there.
I'm liking a lot of trailers and films that I am seeing, and I hope to find a small place in the hearts, as far as the audience is concerned.
I would love to do a lot more work in the South if approached by the right people, and see how my life pans out in Telugu or Tamil, or for that matter, in Kannada or Malayalam.
How did Hi Nanna come to you?
The director had seen me in PINK and Inside Edge. He said he enjoyed both my performances.
He wanted to work with me, but the word back to him said that I might not be interested in the South.
If a film-maker wants to work with me with such passion, how can I not listen to him?
I like people who are confident of my ability.
After Lust stories 2, this is your second outing with Mrunal Thakur this year.
Yeah, she is now a huge star in the South. With Hi Nanna, she will reach another big level.
She's a wonderful co-star and a friend.
