When asked Arfi about his experience working with Santosh Sivan he said, "It is a privilege to shoot for Santosh Sir, I have loved his work ever since I saw Dil Se and I personally think Ashoka is one of the most underrated films of Hindi Cinema.

He rejected me at the onset saying he is too young and boyish for the part. I took it upon myself to grow my beard and change my look totally. With my fingers, hands, and toes crossed, I sent the look test to him and I still have his email that says, "Looks good. This works" and I was on.

He further added, “He did not say it to me directly, but everyone from the production/direction team or the ARRI cameras team will come and tell me that Santosh Sir is loving my work and I would just not believe it. Till last day. On the last day before leaving he said, "Good work, we will work again". I was on cloud 9999.”

Arfi has completed two short film and a web series and is prepping for his next feature that his producers will announce soon.
