Aparshakti made his Bollywood debut with the sports biopic 'Dangal' (2016), which emerged as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time and earned him several recognitions. He subsequently managed to play supporting roles in several other commercially successful films such as 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' (2017), 'Stree' (2018), 'Luka Chuppi' (2019) and 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' (2019). In 2021, he acted in 'Helmet', his first film as a solo lead, and will again be headlining ‘Berlin’.
The actor is currently seen in ‘Dhokha: Round D Corner’, a crime thriller film directed by Kookie Gulati and produced by T-Series. It also stars R. Madhavan and Khushalii Kumar.
This is the first time Aparshakti will be seen as a Kashmiri terrorist in the film. Talking about if he had any inhibitions about taking up the role, the actor says, “Not really, there is no second thought and especially coming from space when you did back-to-back light-hearted films, I was looking for scripts that have X factor and puts me out there and let people know that apar can do this as well. “
And he had a great time shooting with Madhavan.
“The experience was beautiful and I must tell you that whichever colleges I went to promote our film, it was great to see the faculty, the members, the teachers, and everyone drooling over him. He is such a senior artist and I have always been a big fan of his films like ‘ 3 Idiots’ and very recent 'Rocketry'," he says
