<p>Speaking about his professional journey, Punit Malhotra was last seen directing the film&nbsp;Student of the Year 2. Later, he once again donned the director's hat for Tiger Shroff's song Unbelievable, which was shot during the lockdown period. In an interview with mid-day, Punit shared,&nbsp;"I wasn't surprised when Tiger said he has sung a song; he has a lovely voice. I was kicking myself because I should have [displayed his singing skills] in Student of the Year 2."</p>
<p>"Initially, we were scared at the idea of going back to work. But once we did, it felt like a reunion of old friends. As the director, I was doubly vigilant and adopted safety measures over and above those stated by the government. Tiger Shroff was a source of support. His constant reassurance &mdash; 'Punit, we will get by this' &mdash; helped me," continued the director.</p>
