The actor had four film releases this year including Mumbai Saga, The Big Bull, State of Siege: Temple Attack and Chehre and two web shows Puncch Beat and Cartel. He is enjoying shooting non stop and glad that people are seeing him in a different light. “I recently shot for Saurabh Shukla’s directorial and a Vikram Bhatt series with Sunny Leone. Cartel, too, got a great response and people loved my negative role. Earlier people saw a nice looking guy and cast me in older brother, young husband or rich tycoon roles. I got typecast. Now that I am older, I am getting mature and negative roles. Now, the focus is not on my looks but my acting. Negative roles are fun as there are no boundaries.”
