How did Double Smart come into the movie?
Puri sir, Charmy liked my audition. But at that time due to a small accident I gained some weight. I worked hard for two months and lost weight. I fit the character created by Puri. I feel very lucky to work in a film with such a wonderful combination. I am very happy to be part of a film with big stars like Ram garu and Sanjay Dutt.
