Well I had read the book A Ticket to Syria and got a chance to meet Mr Shirish Thorat as well. His suggestions and his experience he shared briefly helped me a lot. I got a glimpse of the world we were entering into, Mohit said.
He added: And I was lucky enough to have Bhav Dhulia as the director who guided me at every hurdle. It was a great experience working with everyone including Kashmira Pardeshi , though we didn’t have a lot of work together but it was memorable. A fresh talent always brings a challenge on the table.
