Speaking about why he chose this role, Pratik said, "I feel blessed that 'Shimmy' found me. The story touched me deeply. As an actor, I have always believed in experimenting and with 'Shimmy' I got to play around a lot internally as an actor."

Opening up about his character, Pratik shared, "Amol is a very relatable character going through an unknown curve as a parent of a teenage daughter." Written and directed by Disha Noyonika Rindani, the film also stars Bhamini Oza Gandhi in a pivotal role.

'Shimmy' is the first of Guneet Monga's (Sikhya Entertainment) collaboration with Amazon mini TV for a repertoire of short films.
