You just need to find the right voice at the right time. Right now, I just want to do some great work and get more work. A lot of people tell me, ‘We don’t get to see you enough (in films and shows)’. Lekin main parda laga ke ghar pe nahin baitha hoon.(But I am not sitting at home with the curtains drawn.) I know the audience wants to see me.

I really hope filmmakers and casting directors finally wake up and give me more work.Join conversation I don’t know why they are so upset with me and why they don’t give me work. I want to work. As an actor, I am ready to do so.

And I hope Pratap changes all that for me.”He ended the conversation, saying, “Main haarne waala insaan nahin hoon. Main haarne aaya hi nahin hoon!(I am not the kind of person who loses. I didn’t come here to lose!) You know me, I am a fighter.

I am a gladiator. Ladte rahoonga (laughs).”Amit Sadh as a cop in the ‘Pratap’ trailer In the trailer, Amit Sadh is seen as a police officer whose world falls apart when he lands behind bars.
