Box office hopes
Ramamurthy acknowledged the business aspect of filmmaking
Ramamurthy, who portrayed Vikram in Do Aur Do Pyaar, acknowledged the business aspect of filmmaking. He stated, "I mean, you always want people to see the film, right? Because at the end of the day, there is a business aspect to everything and people have put up money and you want them to make their money back so that hopefully you get to make another film." He remains optimistic about the film's potential for future success.
Collaboration hopes
He is interested in working with Alia Bhatt, Vidya Balan
Ramamurthy revealed his co-stars' positive reactions to the audience feedback for Do Aur Do Pyaar. He said, "The way people responded to it has made all of us so happy. I've been texting with Vidya (Balan), Pratik (Gandhi), and Ileana (D'Cruz) and we're just all kind of blown away by the reception of it." He also expressed interest in future collaborations with Alia Bhatt and Vidya Balan, admiring their work and hoping for another fruitful working experience.
TV series
Working on 'Never Have I Ever' was 'just pure joy'
In addition to discussing his latest film, Ramamurthy also shared his enjoyable experience working on the American series Never Have I Ever. He described the experience as "just pure joy."
