The actor said that one should be aware of the reality despite coming from privileged backgrounds. He said, “No one is putting me on a magazine cover before my debut film. We have to earn our place. I was taught that despite our privilege, we have to be responsible and aware about the reality that surrounds us. My father is an ad filmmaker, and when he started working, we weren’t in a good position, financially. His story was independent of his father’s, and I hope mine is independent too.”

He continued, “He often jokes that he could tell how my grandfather’s career was going by the number of bouquets that would come home on his birthday. The biggest advantage is not the family, but the privilege to make our own choices. My family is proud of me. I am happy I could tell [my cousins] that I am also walking the same path, even if behind them.”

Faraaz also stars Aditya Rawal and the story is about  the 2016 terrorist attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is jointly produced by T-Series, Benaras Media Works in association with Mahana Films. The film had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival 2022.
