“There are lots of films in the pipeline as of now. To start with, there is one film called Acting Ka Bhoot directed by Shashank Kumar. He is so talented. The shoot is done and it will be released in the next 2-3 months.

The other film is Chaar Lugai directed by Prakash Saini. In this film, I have played the role of a police inspector for the first time. A situation is created and he investigates the matter. This is the first time I am playing such a role,” he says.

He adds, “Then there are two more special films which I am excited about. One is India Lockdown, where I am featured alongside Shweta Basu Prasad, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar.

Madhur ji has another film planned called Bubbly Bouncer with Tammanah Bhatia in the lead. I also play a good role in the film and I am excited about the same. Then I have another film called Daran Choo, it’s a unique story.

There is Ashutosh Rana, Manoj Joshi in the film and Karan Patel is playing the lead role. I play a great role in the film as well. Besides this, I am also doing a film with Tigmanshu Dhulia called Superwoman directed by Zaigham Imam.

I have a mind-blowing character in the film. I am doing another one with Tinu Desai which stars Akshay Kumar sir in the lead role. We cannot reveal the name of the film at the moment. The film is a big project.”

While the actor admits that it’s tough to switch characters, it’s the thrill of a challenge that drives him to do so. “It is tough to do multiple projects simultaneously.

If you genuinely feel these characters and work on them, then it is very tough to go from one character to another. As an actor, I think this is a big challenge. And where I can see challenges, I have fun! It is challenging to do multiple projects and to meet that challenge is very thrilling for me,” he says.

Time management has never been an issue for the actor, he says, “I am able to balance out my time as I am a good time manager. I can manage my time well. I have experience in the corporate world as well and have worked at the managerial level.

I balance out my time and I am also able to maintain a work-life balance. It’s important for me to do multiple projects, when I do different characters, then only I am happy and satisfied. I am not able to do the same work for a long time. I am grateful to be able to pull off different characters, back-to-back,” he adds.
