Actor Aamir Ali is eagerly awaiting his first major release, "Anjaan". The film marks Ali's transition from being a familiar household name on television (in "Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki") to the big screen.

One of the four protagonists in Hansal Mehta's "Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai", Aamir considers this film to his official film debut. Interestingly the role in the serial "Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki" came to him only later after Mehta approached him for the film.

"It was decided that I would be launched in the film. However there was a slight delay during which I was offered the role in 'Kahani..' and I decided to take it up," Ali recalls.

Unlike other actors, Ali was not apprehensive that the 'television actor' tag would prove to be a barrier in films. "I didn't have any of these apprehensions then and even now."

In "Anjaan", Ali plays the title role of a mysterious stranger who creates havoc in the lives of a husband and wife, within a few days after he visits their house.

According to Ali, his role in the suspense thriller has several shades to it. "I am glad that I have such an interesting role in the beginning of my career," he says.

Ali intends to focus on films now. "That's because there's too much of exposure on television and the impact of the two media is different."

Moreover, Mehta has already signed him for the title role of his next film, "Raghu", which will start in January.
