And to some on my timelines, who believe n talk about the same nonsense whenever I have anything to post on social media. I’m sorry. It’s clearly not working. And you guys only push me to go higher and higher. Here is the proof !! Standing next to the superstar in this pic and in the film didn’t come my way easily. Many many years of sincerity, hard work, and honesty have got me to this. Even in my wildest dreams #Lalsalaam is an opportunity I never dreamt of. A big big thanks to THALAIVAR for every single moment that I witnessed while shooting and some wise words and appreciation coming str8 from THE SUPERSTAR about me n my films…which are now my most prized cinematic memories and possessions…#Lalsalaam. It’s a wrap for #MoideenBhai. I will keep rising above all odds. Only caz there is TRUTH in what I do !!! Don’t think I’m Jumping the gun. I don’t speak without conviction. You will know when the movie releases.” (sic)
