He said at the time, “You are as good as your last innings. So, you have to look in front. Of course, it's very important for the film trade to know, and the audience to know your filmography”.

“But, you as a person have to look in front. It’s for the audience to look at your filmography”, he added.

As much as I admire his passion, I hope he's being safe on public roads. These speeds should only be attempted on closed tracks with proper safety gear.
