“Among his current contemporaries, he is the best. Looking at the choice of films, the roles he has chosen to play. Because when you are looking at his own career as a star, (it’s like seeing a horse wink) Referring) to roles like that in One Direction, but he doesn’t experiment like that,” Darshan said.
