Later in the interview, the Poacher alum opened up about the postponement of Roy’s directorial.

Speaking to the outlet, he said, “I have no idea. If I had any information about the film, I would tell you first. I really don’t know because Clean Slate is on one side and Netflix is on the other. What’s going on between the two, I have no clue.”

The B.A. Pass star also praised the Jab Harry Met Sejal actress’ performance in the film, calling it her “best performance”.

Earlier in 2022, Netflix announced Chakda ‘Xpress, a biopic based on the life of cricketer Jhulan Goswami.
