Speaking about Coat, Vivaan says, “This film was special in terms of me being able to stretch my acting abilities and play a character completely outside the realm of my experience. When producer Kumar Abhishek and director Akshay Diti narrated the story, I was very much convinced and said yes to it. It was a lovely and amazing experience working with them and the whole crew."
