With his recent performance in Talaash also hitting the jackpot, it's no wonder that his bag is full with challenging roles. While on one hand, he has Ketan Mehta's Mountain Man, on the other, he has been signed up for Black Currency. In this film, he will be playing the role of Hassan Ali Khan, the Indian businessman who's alleged to have stashed away billions in Swiss accounts.
