"I have always championed for OTT platform, says Danish Sait as he talks about films being released directly online amid lockdown. "Honestly, I'm very self-aware and I know that I don't carry that kind of star power to bring people back in the theatre, so for me, OTT works perfectly." 

"As a talent who is helming the project, or so-called the term 'lead' used for the actor; which is like a blessing for me. It is a good space to be in as you don't want to go to the path of what is the collection, the box office numbers and all," adds Danish Sait. 

French Biriyani is backed by Puneeth Rajkumar’s PRK productions is jointly produced by Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar and Gurudutt A Talwar.

"I was asking sir if he will ever do Iron Man because he is super fit and he is like 'Danny now maybe not' but I told him he is super fit and can put all the 25 and 30-year-olds together and you will still look fitter than all of us. He was like then I should practice for 6 months and then can do it...We were laughing about it... He is an incredible human being and one of my first few or earliest advice I got from the film industry was from him. He called me and told me that don't get stuck in the illusion of filmmaking, do everything you are doing...if movies come your way, do but have fun but remember it is not the end and move on to other things," Danish shares about his meet with Puneeth Rajkumar and getting a piece of advice from him.
