Fardeen Khan's comeback after 14 years
At the trailer launch event, Fardeen talked about his comeback and also shared his experience of working with SLB. He expressed his gratitude for making a comeback after a hiatus of 14 years.
At the event, Fardeen said, "It’s been a very long gap for me, it’s been almost about 14 years. I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity to work with this stellar star cast and a platform like Netflix and of course the man himself, Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”
Of course, Fardeen couldn't have hoped for a better opportunity as an actor to make a comeback.
Further, talking about the series, the actor said, "For me, something I have never done. It was the perfect role for me, I felt, at the age I’m in, to come back to screen."
Talking about his collaboration with SLB, Fardeen got emotional and said that he was grateful for the opportunity. "It’s daunting to work with him; at the same time when you see it all together, it just all makes sense,” Fardeen added.
Manisha Koirala's wait for 28 years to work with SLB
