After 'Rock On!!' people were eagerly looking forward to what I would come up with next."He added that 'Kai Po Che!' allowed him to explore a sensitive topic and the film brought with itself a different set of challenges, "And in that sense, taking up a project based on a sensitive issue headlined by fresh, new faces, was quite a challenge."The film provided him the gateway to hone his storytelling skills, "One that groomed & satiated the storyteller in me.It's extremely validating to see the place the movie has earned in audience's hearts over the years. This acceptance most definitely fuelled my conviction to always steer off the beaten path and keep challenging my boundaries with every project."
