He explained the character and noted, “The leading man Aarav Kumar was born at that moment & it took quite a while for the actuality to register in his mind. It was time to get the prep going & Aayush started working towards chiseling & toning up his body as well as fine-tuning his dance alongside the script reading."

Aayush will play Aarav, a passionate musician navigating love, ambition, and personal struggles. The upcoming film promises a rich blend of romance, drama, and emotional depth.
