In the on-going season, he is all busy with prestigious subjects such as Prithviraj, Ram Setu etc. Well, he was recently seen in Anand L Rai's Atrangi Re movie which also had Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush in the lead roles.

He started off by saying, "I am just a part of the film but this is actually Dhanush and Sara's film. They are the main lead and I am just a character in it. So, when this film came to me I liked the story."

He also added, "The character was small but I liked it so much that I told Anand L. Rai that I will do it and he was also shocked to hear how I said 'yes' to this".

Speaking about the script, he said, "For me, if I like the script even if I have a small role like how I did a film like 'Khakee', my character dies after the interval but I did it. I have done so many films like 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' I didn't have a heroine even in 'Hera Pheri'. I do such films because I like them...I was also excited to get a chance to work with Anand L. Rai."

Finally, he concluded by saying, "I am not a magician and I can't tell you what it is. There is a lot of fun in the film. There is a love story which in its own 'Atrangi' way has been shown."
