The fact is that he has a screen time of nearly 45 minutes and will be seen in the flashback portions. He will be essaying the role of a pilot and his role is based on the real-life incidents that happened to a pilot in Goa, 30 years ago. We have fine-tuned the role with some fictional touch and his portions will be more gripping."
