I want Salman bhai to watch the movie."

The debutant thanked the team of Ahaan for being patient and helping him throughout the shoot. "I’m indeed very lucky that I was given the opportunity to work with people who have worked in the industry for decades. I went through lots of training and workshops to get into the character of Ahaan," Abuli said, adding that the experience has has been life-changing. 

"Today, I am much more confident in day-to-day life. I hope the audience enjoys the movie and spreads love and happiness just like my character Ahaan does in the film," he said.
