Shreyas said, “My first two films Iqbal [2005] and Dor [2006] were intense. At that time, I had to prove that I was good at comedy. Now, I have to prove again that I can do serious roles.” 

He further said, “Around 2016 when Waah Taj didn’t work, I sensed that I had to expand my range of roles. In the meantime, I produced the Marathi film, Poshter Boyz [2014], then I starred in its Hindi remake, followed by [another instalment of] Golmaal. So, even though I was trying to reinvent, [only comedies were coming my way]. Plus, I was trolled by people who said, ‘These actors finally got a job because Golmaal is happening. They will only do this.”

Shreyas concluded, “When you become successful in a genre, filmmakers want to cast you in that space. But you want to seek out scripts that go beyond what you’ve been typecast as. When you get something like Kartam Bhugtam, you feel, ‘Wow! Someone is seeing me in this light as well.”
