"When they offer us a project together, the first question they ask us is: Are you comfortable working together? Orli and I enjoy it a lot, it's just a party. We work very well together. Orli is a little more serious than I am at work. I take it easy but with a lot of fun. Orli is a bit critical and sometimes tells me 'Eri take it seriously'. "

In an interview for "Albania Live", Nebal Basani said:
"On April 23, we had the improvement, but due to the quarantine, it was improved through ZOOM. It has been very well received in reviews and magazines, it has been very well received. The story of 'Gangs Of London' is about how London gangs work, there are gangs from Turkey, Algeria, etc. I am in the role of the Albanian mafia. The series has been well received by the public and critics. We're just playing part of the reality, because it's more or less fabricated. "
