We've all been through that moment when we've felt we can conquer the world and yet the very next situation has thrown us out of gear. That "storm" brewing within you. playing with your emotions: tearing you up: that turbulent ride that makes you ask -- is this a nightmare? Or is this real?," his statement read.
The statement further read, "These are the sentiments associated with Runway 34. It's got terrific highs, alarming lows. a sense of jubilance and dejection, all within the screenplay. Honestly. letting this script just pass me by. was not even a consideration. I knew I had to make it. What's also beautiful is that it offered equal opportunities for my co-actors -- Amitabh Bachchanji. Rakul Preet Singh. Boman Irani, Carry Minati, Aakanksha Singh. Angira Dhar and my numerous co-actors. I also have the most fantastic crew walking alongside me on this turbulent journey. I'm eager to share other assets with you soon."
