Recalling his first impression of Vir Hirani and what convinced him to cast the young actor in Letters of Suresh, Feroz Abbas Khan spoke about Vir’s humility, discipline and dedication to the craft. He shared, “When I first met vir and he came and talked to me, something told me he’s an actor. He’s very understated, he’s not loud and doesn’t go announce himself, he just approaches you and the boy had so much culture, at the same time I get this sense that tells me this is an actor so when I was going to cast for Suresh he was one of the first persons that came to my mind. He’s not like one of those privileged kids or somebody who just wants to say if I don’t do anything let me become an actor, he’s actually a hard working professional, he has been trained to be a professional actor so I saw that, every time you work with him, you come back you only see growth you don’t see stagnation. “

Further applauding Vir’s commitment and potential, Khan said the actor never settled for mediocrity and constantly strived to improve with every performance he shared, “He’s not one of those actors who believes I have achieved he goes back him believing I need to improve tomorrow so that’s a quality I like about him and he never gave up even when I was pushing him. He’s not one of those actors I see as a one trick pony, he’s somebody who’s here for a long haul. He plays suresh in the letters of suresh and carries weight of the play on his shoulder. Of all the actors I see in recent times, I’m really very excited. Huge credit goes to his family for the kind of person he is , he is young, modern, independent yet extremely respectful.”

When the interviewer asked whether he had watched any of Vir Hirani’s Pritam And Pedro, he admitted that he hadn’t seen it yet but was full of praise for his potential. He said “I haven’t seen anything as yet but I’m planning to do one of these days. I’d like to see it but he is going to go much beyond that and have to get used to the fact that Virr is going to be here for a long time.”
