with the film, which starred Sonakshi Sinha, Badshah and Varun Sharma, is happy with the feedback he has been receiving for his performance. However, the best one that he has got so far is from his 103-year-old grandmother. He shares, “Dadima could never understand the cinema culture. She couldn't relate to the idea of watching a film in a theatre. She would find it too dark and crowded for her liking. She had never been exposed to theatres, but I am glad that she loved the film. After watching my film, she asked me if I had fulfilled my purpose in Mumbai and I told her that it was just the beginning.”

For his dadi, even watching TV was an alien affair. Priyansh says, “Even when we bought a TV at home, she did not know how it worked! She only knew that, ‘Yeh chalaate hain toh iss mein bhagwan ka kuch aata hai!’ After watching the film, she asked me, ‘Why were those people doing that thing? Who was that girl?’, referring to certain scenes.”

Luckily, her grandson ensured that she got to experience that magical movie-watching feeling at least once!
