A step you need to take, Jammwal on production house
In an interview with Deadline, Jammwal said that his "journey wasn't planned." "I come from an army background, for me it [acting] was only just a dream. It didn't matter if I became a stuntman, as long as I was in the frame doing action," he revealed. When asked why he launched his production house, Jammwal said, "It's a step you need to take."
'Idea is to do content that I've always enjoyed watching'
"The idea is to do content that I've always enjoyed watching, but not necessarily action films. I feel like I'm in a place where I can pick and choose what I'd like my audience to watch, what I'd like the nation to watch," Jammwal shared.
