The actor took to his Instagram and wrote, "It was 2010 and I was working as an assistant photographer. When my boss said we are shooting with director Venkat Prabhu, I was overjoyed because ever since I watched Chennai 28 and he was an emotion for me. I wore my favourite white shirt and probably the only day I went that early to the spot, and as you can clearly see all my shining white teeth in the photo, I was that the entire shoot, even while holding the reflector, I guess I was giving the reflector a tough fight. I told myself that day that I'll work with him someday. 2022 (swipe right) And now 12 years later, I got to work with @venkat Prabhu sir on #ManmathaLeelai. Dreams do come true :).' (sic)
