The lesson Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub learnt in Bollywood the hard way…

Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub has been part of many masala movies as well as the middle-of-the-road cinema. The actor, who was seen in the socially-relevant film 'Article 15', has movies like 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', 'Raanjhanaa', 'Shahid', 'Tanu Weds Manu 1 and 2', 'Raees', 'Tubelight', 'Thugs of Hindostan', 'Zero' and 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi' in his filmography. In an interview with Zoom, he said, “Firstly, not a lot of interesting projects are being made at the moment.So, I think it's better to give myself some time. I plan to revive my theatre, it's been two years now. Life achi bitana is the target, naa ki rat race mei ghusna hai.”
Speaking about the choices he has made, Zeeshan said that he has learned a lot from his past mistakes. The Bollywood actor said that besides working in films that he has also worked with people who made false promises, and it turned into a game of sorts. He added, “Hum credit mei special mention dege, hum aapko aisa kar dege toh aisa ho jaayega, wo bhi kar liya, add bhi nahi hua, change bhi nahi hua, katt gaye, character se cheen li gayi power. So, it's good for one's mental health to stay as far as possible from these people and projects.”
For his next film, 'Turram Khan', all it took was a call from Hansal Mehta for Zeeshan to give his nod. The two have worked together before, and their ideologies match, too.
