The actor was asked about what he expects from the festival to which he said, "Cinema is a very beautiful language. It transfers the audience to another world and they gain another experience. It introduces new cultures, shows emotions and tells how to treat other people. So it's a wonderful medium. I am very happy to be a part of the industry, especially as an actor, so I am enjoying every moment. I am just enjoying this. I am not expecting anything, I am just happy."
