“My first Bollywood project came with the movie Barsaat. When I first went on the set of it, the people over there had a discussion that I am a rapper so they just wanted to put me in the DJ booth. After the first two takes, I felt I could do better and asked for a break. During this time, I spoke to Suneel Darshan sir explained that I had more potential and I was willing to audition at that very moment. Things fell into place soon after and I was moved from the DJ booth to the stage. That is exactly how I got my first Bollywood project,” said the Dakku Daddy singer.
