"People remember me for the characters I play, so [I have] no regrets for not playing a lead. I have worked with Gulzar saab, Rajkumar Hirani, Neeraj Pandey, Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap. Perhaps that is why I have no regrets. When I sit down and look at my body of work and the people I have collaborated with, I feel fortunate to have had those opportunities," he says.
Family Of Thakurganj, set in Uttar Pradesh, also features Mahie Gill, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Yashpal Sharma and Pavan Malhotra. "The film has a political backdrop and [narrates the story of] how people live without following rules. It is a rooted story. The dialogues are entertaining." Jhootha Kahin Ka is a romcom featuring Sunny Singh, Omkar Kapoor, Lillete Dubey, and Rishi Kapoor.
