It is basically a rom-com with a twist in it. I can’t reveal much about the story now. I was very studious till the 9th grade and because of my passion towards cinema, I performed poorly in my 10th grade. I dreamt of shooting in my school one day and it has come true now!” he said. was quoted saying.
