Actor Lokesh Mittal - who recently appeared on Amazon Prime Video’s Farzi, starring Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Amol Palekar, Kay Kay Menon and Raashii Khanna - says that he is grateful for all the love and appreciation he has been receiving since the release of the Raj & DK directorial. Previously seen in Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2, Runway 34, Sui Dhaga and Uunchai, the actor played the character of Lakdawala in the black comedy crime thriller series. 

After Farzi released, whenever Lokesh steps out, people ask him, “Sir, 500-500 ke hai kya?” - a phrase popularised by his character - a counterfeit currency dealer - in the series. “I am really getting a huge response from everywhere - be it from industry people, my friends or followers on social media. As an actor, it feels immensely pleasing when people recognise and admire you for the character you portray on screen. For me, it is the greatest sense of achievement, as it makes me feel that I have completely justified the character I portrayed and have made an impression on viewers. Success doesn’t come overnight; it is the outcome of years of hard work and consistency.” And not just his dialogue in the series, Lakdawala has also led to memes and other hilarious videos on social media.

Describing his experience of working with Shahid, the actor said, “Shahid’s fluency, cooperation and support towards his co-actors are some of his fine attributes, which made my experience on the set more worthy.” 

Next, Lokesh will be seen as a cop in Ajay Devgn’s upcoming directorial venture Bholaa. Releasing in cinemas on March 30, the action thriller film features Tabu, Sanjay Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal and Ajay, among other actors.
