Looking back at his journey, the actor said: “I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been chosen as Imtiaz Ali’s leading man in ‘Laila Majnu’. The journey has been a remarkable one, and I am deeply appreciative of all the love my film has garnered over the years.”
He further mentioned: “Portraying a character crafted by Imtiaz Ali is a privilege shared by some of the industry’s biggest stars, like Shah Rukh Khan, and Saif Ali Khan. It’s an honour I cherish. It’s beautiful how Laila Majnu is so relevant after 5 years. From playing Majnu to now ‘Bambai Ka Naya Baadshah, it’s been an incredible journey. I am thankful to all my fans.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor will be soon seen in streaming shows ‘Kaala’ and the period gangster crime-drama ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ in which he essays the role of Dara Kadri, a petty criminal who rises up the ranks of Mumbai’s organised crime but has his police officer father as a counter-force.
Both the shows are set to release in September on different OTT platforms. While ‘Kaala’ drops on Disney+ Hotstar on September 15, ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’ will drop on Prime Video on September 14.
