"I play a guy, who is not comfortable with physical contact. He lives in his virtual world and perceives the world through a game created by him. It is the exact antithesis of what Ra.One (2011) was in terms of concept. My character draws from Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock and Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, so Kunal's inputs will be vital for me. Our intention is to create an Indian parallel, using these characters as reference points," says Anshuman.
The actor will travel to the US to seek Kunal's opinion. "I'm flying out next month to show the finished product to Kunal. His opinion really matters in this case. I want to host a premiere in Los Angeles, and it will be great if I could get Sheldon (Jim Parsons) to watch the movie. There will be no bigger honour for this film," he says.
