The unabashed expressions have ushered film offers from Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu film industries.

“This was all very sudden and it’s also very new to me. So, I’m actually very happy and excited about the movie, but then I don’t know how to handle all this fame and popularity that I gained in a single day – what you call an overnight sensation. I don’t know how to react to that. My family is very happy about all this and my friends are really excited. They are more excited than me. I’m actually just coping with it very slowly.”
