However, the lad is glad that he landed on a film set. Talking about his experience, Vedang shared, “It was all too new for me. It wasn’t my childhood dream to come into films. It was during college that I came into modelling. I used to sing and play the guitar. Eventually, I landed into auditioning. I had no expectations because I never expected to be in this position, so whatever happens is a bonus.”
He also spoke about working with the children of the Bollywood fraternity, saying, “For me, it was already a big deal that I had reached a film set. For all of us, we were debutants. I never felt I was working with people carrying such an immense legacy, but I was working with friends. I felt at home.” Meanwhile, the actor will share the screen with Bollywood star Alia Bhatt in the upcoming film Jigra. Vasan Bala, who made the stellar neo-noir dark comedy Monica, O My Darling, directed the film.
