Sooryavanshi was involved in an altercation that turned physical following India A’s Super Over defeat to Sri Lanka A last week. “All we can do is talk with hate. And what happens then? If the person we are hating eventually reads those things, it might affect them a little. But what do we achieve by talking like that? That is why I am saying this.

An ardent fan of M Night Shyamalan, Ram Gopal Varma, and Vinayan, among others, Vineeth’s ambition is not just to break into show business but to do so with a bang. “The first will always be recorded and remembered in history.
