He followed this with acclaimed performances in Takshak Mr. and Mrs. Iyer Jhankaar Beats Chameli and Shaurya becoming known for his meaningful roles in parallel cinema. However he never quite managed to break into the mainstream commercial space in a big way. Though widely respected in niche and festival circuits many of his films didn’t fare well at the box office. Movies like Everybody Says I’m Fine! (which he also directed) and Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam failed to impress audiences commercially adding to a streak of underwhelming performance despite his acting talent.
