The young actor made his acting debut with Kapoor’s successful series PuncchBeat, which premiered in 2019. The new project, titled MumBhai, is a crime drama.

I am thankful to Ekta Kapoor ma’am for giving me this role which will definitely give my acting graph a new high. I cannot control my excitement as I am getting the chance to work with such talented actors like Angad Bedi and Sikander Kher. I hope to start shooting for the series soon with all the precautions and following necessary guidelines,” says the actor.
Set against the backdrop of Mumbai's underworld, MumBhai centers on the friendship between a no-nonsense cop and a deadly criminal. The story unfolds in the time span from the late 1990s to early 2000.
