Early life and career

He moved from Srinagar to Mumbai in 2004. He continued his education there in Madras Christian College matriculation school, and started modeling in 2006 when he was 16. After graduation in visual communication, he earned a diploma in 3D animation and movie making from MAAC in Chennai.[3][4] After achieving success in modeling in Chennai, he moved to Bangalore in 2010. There he started spending more time tending to his passion: photography and modeling.[5][6] He moved to Mumbai in 2014 to try his luck on the silver screen. After getting his diploma from Barry John's acting institute, he gave his first audition for a role in Neerja. He got selected as the negative lead.

In 2016, he made his debut on the silver screen as a Palestinian hijacker in the Sonam Kapoor-starrer Neerja,[7] which "made more than just heads turn in blink-and-miss-Bollywood". Displaying a skull cap, customary beard and kohl rimmed eyes, he thrusts his way onto the aisle, terrorizing passengers in the Pan Am Flight 73, taking them hostage, for which he won appreciation from critics.[8]
