Sharing this picture on his Instagram account, Shekhar was gushing over the actor’s son for his cuteness and innocence. Praising this picture perfect family he mentioned of them residing in New York and Shekhar in no mood for a sequel to the said movie. In his post he further mentions how he had to convince the actor to star in his movie. Right after Shekhar spotted him in an ad commercial, he took him to movie sets, to recording studios to make him believe that filmmaking is an entertaining process.
An excerpt from his Instagram post’s reads, “Jugal, i don’t know if you remember what a run around you gave me to do the part. I saw you in the Amul Dada commercial, and it took me months to convince you to act in the movie. I would have to take you to the recordings of the songs, take you to sets on studios, to convince you to that film making can be really interesting exciting and fun ! Do you remember ?”
