Arya is happy that Avan Ivan has got a good opening and talked about the hardship he and Vishal had to undergo during making of the film. The star said that it was Vishal who had to suffer a lot during the making of Avan Ivan and he really pitied him for sporting the lens and playing squint-eyed for nearly 250 days.
Arya said that it is no mean feat to play squint-eyed when a person has normal eyes. He said that though he knew that this particular role would fetch him rave reviews and accolades, he decided to forsake the role for Vishal, his best buddy in real life.
