The actor won accolades for this very role and later took some time off from the TV industry to attend to the film industry that was beckoning him.
Now after three years hiatus, the actor will be seen in Specials at ten, mini-series of the four eminent Bollywood Directors (Madhur Bhandarkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Vikram Bhatt and Anurag Kashyap). The actor will be playing a negative shade (that he is known for) in one of the stories directed by Vikram Bhatt.
