Though I have been acclaimed for 'Newton,' but my personally favourite is 'Gurgaon.'

It was Sultan Qureshi, the character of 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' which brought success as a baddie, but it were the TC and teacher's roles in 'Masaan' and 'Nil Battey Sannata' that broke the villain's mould and helped me successfully explore the other shades - be it comedy, intense, or serious - surprising the audience all the time.

I will make a conscious effort to pick up roles which give a social message besides being entertaining.
