"I consider this film as a turning point in my career, and I hope this project is my gateway to films. I'm extremely nervous and looking forward to this film," Sunil told IANS.
"Gabbar Is Back" is directed by Krish and co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures. Featuring Akshay Kumar and Shruti Haasan in lead roles, the film is slated to release on May 1.
A remake of the 2002 Tamil film "Ramanaa", "Gabbar Is Back" will see Akshay in the role of a vigilante, a righteous man and an enemy of the corrupt.
Describing his role in the film, Sunil said: "I am playing a policeman in this film and it's not a negative role. When I was offered this role, I instantly said 'yes' to this film."
