faith in humanity has been restored. There are people that I do not
know who sent me messages on my social media platforms praying for me."

messages."

According to the actor, so many precautions were taken while trying to shoot the fire scene in the movie.
The make-up artist gave assurances that it will work out fine in the end.
He
also mentioned that he had been getting tired of being casted in
stereotyped roles before getting the opportunity to play something
different in the movie.
“To be frank, I stumbled on the role; I was just at the right place at the right time when I got the role in the movie."
"The
part was not supposed to be mine. When I knew I was to do the fire
scene, I was excited because I was already tired of acting in romantic
dramas."
"We do the same thing over and
over again. I needed something challenging. I wanted to do something new
and this was something refreshing."
"The make-up artiste had assured me that what she would do for me would work and it took months before we shot that scene."
"We had actually shot the major part of the movie earlier in the year but recently did the fire scene."
"The make-up artiste did a lot of research with practitioners in Hollywood to get the job done. So I had a lot of faith in her”, he said.
