Samir who plays the character of a gay designer says it is has been the most challenging role of his career so far and the actor is thrilled about this unusual role in the film.

"When I heard about the character, I felt this is what I was looking for a challenging and refreshing role. And I decided to act in the film," says Samir, who is more famous as a model despite acting in films and TV serials.

Samir made his mark as the effortless and clever Ashok Gupta in Doordarshan's 'A Mouthful of Sky' in 1996 besides acting in hit TV serials like "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin" and "Saaksshi".

The actor says that though his character was a little unusual for him but his experience in the modeling field helped him a lot to understand the role.

"As a a model I have lots of gay friends and I also know many gays very closely. So, I didn't face any problem in understanding the character," says Samir.
