I feel it's a big opportunity for me. Earlier I did direction but for some time now I was trying to get back in acting.
"I am grateful to John because some actors have barriers in their minds while working with a married actresses, but John is so warm and open in his approach towards co-actors. John has done a fabulous job in his recent films as 'Satyameva Jayate' and 'Batla House', so I am looking forward to working with him."
