Critically acclaimed for his performances in films like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd and Corporate, Kay Kay comes from a theatre background. He tells us what we can expect from Drona.

A subject like Drona, high on make-believe and enchantment, screams for adventure and surreal in its compositions. And while the soundtrack has its moments, in entirety it's too average to achieve any of these elements.
