Sohum loves how his work is full of simplicity and honesty. Getting to work with Hansal sir is indeed a learning process for Sohum," Sohum's spokesperson said.

"Simran", which also stars Kangana Ranaut, is being shot in the US and is said to be based on a real life story. It will release next year.
