I am extremely thankful to Paparao sir for giving me this opportunity and making me a part of his passion project." Paparao was in search of flamboyant, energetic and lively person for the role.

"I then saw Shaan recording one of the songs from the film, he was so excited and happy, he was literally dancing while recording and I immediately felt we found our guy. Shaan is not just a brilliant singer but also an effortless actor and most importantly a wonderful person. His positive aura and charming attitude convinced me to cast him in Music School."
