This has been one of the most challenging films for me as an actor, incredibly challenging on so many levels.”

Not revealing too much about the film, the actor concluded, “But I don’t want to reveal too much. Watch it on January 31, and you’ll see that there’s a Deva in all of us. This is a heartfelt, beautiful film, and I can promise that audiences will truly enjoy watching it.”
