"This part revolves around a father-daughter story and I play the role of the father in the film. It's a pivotal part of the project and lends depth to the complexity of the narrative.

"I was directed by his very able young daughter Krishna Bhatt, written by his mentor Mahesh Bhatt, three generations coming together to put the sequel together."
