Earlier on Instagram, he shared several clippings from his films as a montage and said that in the last few years, his focus has been on making the Dharma brand grow, but now, he wishes to "go back to his favourite place". "It's time to create some eternal love stories from behind the lens. A very special story, truly immersed in the roots of love and family,"  he wrote.
