The issue is that VFX in Bollywood is dead. However, in Hollywood, the music videos are completely based on VFX and I want to bring that to Bollywood. After a long time of practice and a lot of efforts, my work is finally gaining appreciation. One day I got a call from Raftaar Sir and he asked me about work on the VFX for his music video. He gave me a chance and I gave it my best shot", said Ankit.
