A. One of my upcoming movies is Fry Day starring Govinda ji. The movie in the post-production stage at present. Currently, I am shooting for the movie titled Arjun Patiala produced by Maddock films and T-series, directed by Rohit Jugraj. The audience will get to see Diljit Dosanjh, Kriti Sanon and me together. It’s a Buddy Cop film that I am really excited to be a part of. After Choocha, the character I have gotten attached to is Ondia Singh from Arjun Patiala.
