Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor’s film ‘Sardar Ka Grandson’ releases today and the actor said that he is immensely grateful to have found films like ‘Sardar Ka Grandson’ and ‘Ki and ‘Ka’.

In a post shared on his Instagram handle, the star wrote, “I have been fortunate enough to get films that have made me tap into my beautiful childhood memories and life experiences.”

He added, “Whether it was a Ki and Ka which was for my mother or now Sardar Ka Grandson for my grandmothers, these are films that have connected to my soul and will forever be my most favourite films.”

The actor thanked his director Kaashvie Nair for giving him a film that immediately connected with him and reminded him of his childhood.

He said, “I’m deeply thankful that in Sardar Ka Grandson I got a chance to be directed by the sensitive and extremely mature Kaashvie Nair, my first female director, who was also helming her first feature film! Kaashvie you have given me a film to cherish forever and be proud of. So, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”

Arjun added, “You gave me solid material that connected to me so deeply and instantly because of the story’s uncanny similarity with my grandparents’ lives in various ways.”
