He will be seen opposite Alia Bhatt in ‘Badrinath Ki Dhulania’ which is very dear to his heart.  He commented, “The film will release during the festival of Holi in March next year. It’s a special film and I am passionate about it. There is a special message also in the film so it’s important.”

The actor won Best Actor in Comedy Role for ‘Dishoom’ (2016) at the Star Screen Awards, and added, “It’s (best actor comic award) special as my family has been associated with comedy. It’s more special as it’s directed by my brother Rohit. This is the first award show of the season and it feels great.”
