Hok seemed excited to be working in the Indian film industry, revealing that he has been working on the Allu Arjun-Atlee film since one month. Posting pictures and videos from set life in India, he wrote, “Well now that the cat is out of the bag, I wanted to do a life update post for my past month working in the India film industry.”

He added, “I’ve always been so curious about the Indian film world so this was definitely the best dive right into the deep end. Unfortunately I can’t talk much about the project yet, only that there’s been a lot of hours and hard work that has been put into it & that it’s going to be something quite insanely massive.” Hok ended the note with, “Here’s to diving head first into how different cultures run things & to more crazy problem solving adventures that has yet to come.”
