The actor said, "When I ventured into films, mujhe aisi films nahi mili jo main karna chahta tha, jis mein main accha tha (I didn't get films that I wanted to do and ones where I would've been good). I earned a lot of fame and recognition on TV. I got an opportunity to work there."

But here in (Commander Karan Saxena), it had everything that I wanted to do. That's why I didn't compromise on anything, be it for action or scenes."
