People like me are being given the opportunity to experiment. The hero has become the common man and no longer a superhero. That is the best things about cinema right now, you can challenge yourself with many unique roles. We are no more obsessed with playing the hero,” he says.

Cinema today has changed so that change is reflecting in the offers coming my way,” he ends.
