He was later offered C.I.D. in 1999, after B. P. Singh noticed him in Satya [3] for playing a cop, after Ashutosh Gowariker left to pursue direction. Although he had played as a criminal Paresh in the C.I.D. episode "The Case of the Stolen Gun" by then. Initially reluctant, he signed in for just 26 episodes, which however extended later. His first C.I.D. episode as a cop was "The Case of the Stolen Dynamite". [4]

Meanwhile, he also did many films. He played Murgi, a bassist in Anurag Kashyap's Paanch , which was shot in 2001, and was never released, but got his approval as an actor by the film fraternity when Paanch was shown as the closing film in Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema in 2005.

He even provided finance for the making of this movie. His first film as in playing the single male protagonist, Dil Se Pooch Kidhar Jaana Hai, [6] fetched him appreciation by critics for his performance, though it was a commercial failure as the production house decided to release its sans promotions. He was in lead in Kaalo . He suffered a shoulder injury in a bus accident during the shoots of Kaalo . [7]
