‘Extraction’ team had a special gift for Priyanshu Painyuli

Mumbai, April 28 (IANS) Actor Priyanshu Painyuli made his international debut with the Chris Hemsworth-starrer digital film “Extraction”, and he says he got a special memento from the set.

He got a customised jacket that was made for his character Amir Asif, as a gift from the team.

“The memories made on the film, the things I learned will all last a lifetime. But this is the best gift they could have given me. The jacket is gorgeous. It was customised by Indian craftsmen and has detailed work on it,” Priyanshu said.

“It celebrates our rich culture of craftsmanship and it’s the most beautiful gift I could have received. ‘Extraction’ has been such a special experience and with the role of ‘Amir Asif,’ I have been able to show my range as an actor. This jacket will be a reminder of all the good praises coming my way. Post this film, I feel enthused and motivated to do even better. Being a part of an international film is such great exposure for any young actor and this character has made people see me in an entirely different light,” he added.
