The critically-acclaimed actor has been a part of many award-winning Bengali films. Although he has been a part of Hindi projects since the initial years of his career, he also made his debut in Telugu cinema in 2018. He started his acting career with television and has kept his association alive by hosting a couple of reality shows. In recent years, he has also become a part of the OTT space, with Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors being the latest digital project.
With a number of enviable projects in his hands, including the Telugu remake of Andhadhun, Telugu film Acharya with Chiranjeevi, and Hindi film Antim: The Final Truth with Salman Khan, he is also returning to Bengali cinema after a gap of two years. “I’m also reading a couple of Hindi scripts at the moment,” he tells us. The superstar took some time off from his busy schedule to share his journey with TMM…
Do you think as an actor, the OTT space is giving you much more in terms of variety of characters and the scope to reach a wider audience?
Yes, of course. The OTT was the future anyway but due to 2020, it came closer to us. Having said that, I have to say, I have been offered different kinds of characters all through my 22-year-old-long career. I played a psychopath killer in my second Telugu film, something I had never done before. So, I will not say that only OTT has given me this space. I have been getting these kinds of roles for the past decade or so.

STAYING AWAKE WITH NO SLEEP!
Love gin? Who doesn’t, right? Well, think of the lovely, crisp Greater Than gin and add your other favourite brew, coffee from Sleepy Owl to it and what you have is a combination that just won’t let you sleep! But guess what, No Sleep is a gin that is worth staying awake for. Available as a limited edition release, this gin contains no sugar, coffee extracts or artificial flavours. The cold brew is made using 100 per cent Arabica coffee from Chikmaglur, Karnataka and added to the gin. The result is a burst of flavours with the taste of red cherries, followed by salted caramel and finishing with hints of delicately-spiced pink peppercorn.
