“There were a couple of offers to do Hindi films, some I liked, some I didn’t. I got a call from Yash Raj Films for a role in Mardaani, to audition for the role of a villain. I found the part interestin­g,” he told PTI.

“I am waiting for Mom to release and then I will decide what next to do here..”
