Further, added the actor, “I have always been fascinated by the roles in projects like Gangs of Wasseypur so now, I prefer realistic shows rather than getting typecast in mythological characters. Luckily after lockdown, I have been getting offers for now. I will probably start shooting for the same in the coming months. I was about to sign two projects but because of the pandemic, everything came to a halt. It broke me down as the producers also gave up eventually and the project got scrapped. It was very difficult for me to get selected for two good projects which were planned to be released on big platforms. The pandemic had hit me so hard that I went through a major financial crisis.” 

So how he coped with the situation? He said he got his family's full support in his hard times and that he kept himself motivated and worked on himself and his craft.
