Arora is no stranger to the festival circuit — in fact, Superboys of Malegaon was his third stint at TIFF. Talking about his experience at film festivals, he adds that such showcases help give artistes a “big boost.” “A festival has distributors from around the world…they end up webbing films out to various markets. The true beauty is in spreading cinema in all corners of the world,” the actor says.

From playing an extra in his first film (Myoho; 2012), to becoming a regular at international film festivals, the 35-year-old views his journey as one of growth, “If you don’t grow, you are doing something very wrong. I feel like I know my job better. I was a young kid who was just happy to get the work and the money. Now, I feel this responsibility to myself to tell more stories with this privilege, this audience that I’ve got,” he ends.
