For 6-7 years, I've been thinking about it and I mentioned it to Sujoy one day while we were sitting. He works with us at our office, he's made some films for us. He says, 'sir, I have a subject'."
The 58-year-old actor also revealed losing weight for 'King'. He shared, "The next film I am doing King, I have to start working on it, have to lose some weight a little, do some stretching''.
