At an event, Ranveer Singh expressed his admiration for Atlee, and said, “Before he became a household name with Jawan and the biggest director in India, I had messaged him after the release of Mersal and said, ‘Sir, I love your cinema. You should come to Mumbai, and we should make some movies together.’ I have always wanted to collaborate with Atlee sir. He’s been such a dear friend to me over the years.”Speaking specifically about AA22 x A6, Ranveer added, “It’s always great hanging out with him and working with him and his super-duper awesome team. Being in front of the lens of Mr GK Vishnu is such an honour and delight. I happened to visit him on the set of his current film because my wife was shooting with him. You may have heard this before, but you can hear it from me — he is creating something you’ve never experienced or seen in Indian cinema before.”ALSO READ: Dhurandhar Title Track OUT!
