"He told me it can be easily cured if it is diagnosed at a young age. I asked whether it can be cured if it is diagnosed at the age of 41. I am clinically ADHD diagnosed," said the Kumbalangi Nights actor.

His statement comes as Aavesham, upon its release on April 11, garnered widespread critical acclaim from reviewers, who lauded its direction, standout performances -- particularly by Fahadh Faasil and Sajin Gopu --dynamic action sequences, stunning cinematography, captivating musical score, and overall technical prowess.
