Speaking about the same to a leading daily, the actor said, “We started working on the book almost two years ago. It traces my life from the time I resided in a village, to becoming an actor. We began writing this a while ago and will launch it in two months. No one knows about my childhood and what it takes for a farmer’s child, who lived in a joint family, to enter this field and make a name. Achieving this life could have only been a distant dream. The contribution of my parents and my village in helping me become what I am today has been immense, and makes for a major chunk of the book. Also, my theatre days have been beautifully chronicled. I think there’s a lot of masala in there for people to read.”

Work wise, the actor will be seen in Kushan Nandy’s ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’ which releases on August 25, 2017 and in Nandita Das’ short film called ‘In Defence Of Freedom’, where he will be essaying the role of Saadat Hasan Manto.
