It was only befitting that with Kick in which his father was making his debut as a director, my younger son Sufyan also made his debut screen appearance along with Subhan. Initially they were supposed to make their appearance in another sequence altogether but that didn't happen but I was very keen that my mascots had to bring in their lucky charm to Kick and their presence has added to the sweet taste of the success Kick like the ice creams that they were enjoying through the filming," says the proud father.
