Actor Abhay Verma has commenced the shooting for his next, "Dilkashi" with filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, and Lijo Jose Pellissery. Spilling his excitement about his next, the 'Munjya' actor said that he feels that finally his work has reached the people who have been his inspiration.
Calling the three his 'Gurus', Abhay said that it is times like these that make one believe in destiny and the grace of God. He said, “It feels like my work has reached the very people I’ve always looked up to. A. R. Rahman sir, Hansal Mehta sir, and Lijo Jose Pellissery sir have been a constant source of inspiration for me, and to have my name mentioned alongside theirs is something I still find hard to believe.
They’ve been my gurus in every sense. Moments like these make you believe in something bigger, in grace, destiny, and in God a little more."
