’ opposite Rajnandini Paul is now gearing up for his next big Bollywood outing ‘

Amartya’s character in the sports drama is inspired by Indian football legend Chuni Goswami and the young actor is delighted to be a part of the film. “It was indeed a pleasure to work with Ajay sir. I had some very important scenes with him, which included playing football. The way he helped me was unbelievable. During the shoot, I fell and got hurt. Ajay sir came running and asked the physiotherapist, who is with us always, about my condition. He is very calm and composed. One can always find him on the sets sitting with the team,” shares the talented actor who was earlier seen in the Hindi film ’22 Yards’.
Talking about his working experience with Amit Sharma, the director of the film, Amartya said, “For any actor, it is a delight to work with Amit sir. He is a guardian on the sets. The way he explains a shot to any actor is so explicit that there is no doubt left.”
