On his special day, he had a 5 a.m. call for shoot, and he believes `it's a great gift` to be able to have the kind of work that's coming his way.
`It's been a great year for me...working with wonderful filmmakers and actors. There's been so much of learning and I just like to work hard,` Amit told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
He's caught in the midst of shooting for `Guddu Rangeela` and promoting his forthcoming film `RunningShaadi.com`. Both films are as different as chalk and cheese.
`All my roles have been different,` says the actor, who made his Bollywood debut with the acclaimed 2013 film `Kai Po Che`, in which he played Omi Shastri.
In `Guddu Rangeela`, Amit essays a Haryanvi character against his `young guy in a sweet love story` in `RunningShaadi.com`, in which he stars opposite Taapsee Pannu.
Amit, who was injured while shooting for `Guddu Rangeela` in Shimla in mid-March is now also back on his feet, and he says his recovery period gave him a chance to chill, sit at home, read books, catch up on movies and with his friends.
Now, he's hoping to finish the shooting for the Subhash Kapoor-directorial, which he will wrap up in 10 to 15 days.
