Favourite locations for shooting in abroad?
I have travelled several country for shooting—Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and several parts of India. Among them I prefer Bangkok, Thailand. It is a nice place indeed.
The best character you acted…
Frankly speaking, our directors indulge with the characterization of hero and heroines, not of villains. And most of the story does not have much sophistication on a villain’s character.
The dream character you want to work in?
It will be ‘Donn’. Depicting me the character will be my autobiography. If I stay alive and well, I will present the work before the nation.
Leisure activities?
Apart from acting I am also passionate to music. I have a band named ‘Archive’. Whenever I get spare time I sit for practice along with the band members. We have already performed in Malaysia and Singapore. We are going to Kolkata to attend a show very soon. Our first album is in pipeline. Though I am not a hero, not a singer; but I do sing for my inner-self.
Favourite villains in abroad?
Shakti Kapoor, Kader Khan, Amzad Khan, Omreshpuri from India. I think they are legend.
Recently you working in…
I am working in a number of 7-8 movies at present. Some of them are: Ostitto by Anonyo Mamun, Game Returns by Royal Khan, Rudro the Gangster by Sayem Khan.
Did you ever think in your childhood that one day you will be a Dhallywood star?
In fact, I wanted to work in army or in detective branches. I have tried there and also allowed in the first phase of test. Later I fell sick and couldn’t attend the next test. Afterwards I diverted my mind to work in film industry. I wanted to be a familiar face and Allah has made my desire a reality.
