I had roles in Masoom, Judaai… And I have also assisted in direction. I wanted to become an actor right from the start. Padhaai mein kabhi dhyaan nai laga and acting never seems liked work,” he says.

Omkar says his journey is very different than when he was a child actor. “My journey is very different now and I am not in a hurry. I am willing to wait, but in the long run I want to play roles that will be remembered,” he says.

The actor, who will be seen in the sequel of Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), says that he wants to do different films. “I want to explore all genres. I don’t really have a plan. I am just waiting for a brilliant script. It can be in any genre as long as the role is strong and there is a good director,” he says. Omkar is also happy that his character is similar to how he is in real life. “I can relate to it, which is great as this was my first film. I was asked to be natural, which worked for me,” he says.
