It's been over a year that you debuted with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and almost two since you shifted to Mumbai from Bangalore. How’s the city treating you?

Former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram will reportedly make his acting debut in Nikhil Advani's next film, Patiala House. The film stars Akshay Kumar.
