Talking about his role, he said: My character in the film is that of a very aggressive, edgy and violent guy. It was a challenge to portray a character like this because personally I'm a calm person. But my character in the film has a very bad temper.

'I really had to leave myself behind and keep imagining the character so that I can do my best. I couldn't afford to be calm or composed; I had to be hyper in almost all the scenes.'

The film that revolves around five men confined in a factory also stars Dino Morea, Manoj Bajpai, Dia Mirza, Fardeen Khan and Irrfan Khan among others. The actor also specified that he has no qualms about being in a multi-starrer since he is confident of his abilities.

'I don't feel that there is any problem in doing multi-starrers, all the more when most films today have an ensemble cast. Every one has a special part to play in the film; so there is no problem of encroaching on anyone else's space. One just needs to have trust in the director and confidence in your abilities,' said Aftab.

The actor is keen to turn producer and said he would make an announcement shortly.
