Talking to TOI, Yashvardhan said, “I have been with Sajid uncle for a month now. He gave me the best advice – To go with the flow and acquire knowledge on all aspects of filmmaking, including editing and writing before getting into acting. I will also assist him on ‘Kick 2�۪�۝.

Yashvardhan might be looking to go to LA to learn acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute before he takes the plunge. ���Everything I know about the craft came from dad. He has taught me how to improvise on screen. I remember him telling me how Kader Khan sir and he came up with impromptu dialogues on the sets of Harmesh (Malhotra) uncle’s ‘Dulhe Raja,’ which is one of my favourite films. These days our dinner table conversations only revolve around movies,�۝ he went on to say.
