Mohammad Nazim joins 'Roop' as the new antagonist

Mohammad Nazim, who is best known as Ahem of 'Saath Nibhaana Saathiya', has been roped in to play the new antagonist on '

Roop - Mard Ka Naya Swaroop

'. The actor, who played the quintessential hero — a doting husband and son — on 'Saathiya', has no qualms turning negative on TV. He shares, “Whether an actor plays a negative role or positive role on TV, it is of no consequence anymore. Besides, there’s not much scope to perform in the positive space. I did that for eight years on 'Saathiya' as Ahem. Negative characters are more challenging; they allow you to showcase your graph as an actor. I want to slot myself as a good actor, who can perform any part. Today, people are finding it difficult to get work. You need to be seen to get more work.”

The actor says that it’s not challenging to join a show midway. He says, “I am not competing with anyone, but myself. If I am good at my work, it will automatically translate into challenging offers.”

Nazim was also in talks for '

Gama

', for which he spent eight months preparing for the part. Ask him about the status of the show and he replies, “There is no word on it and I have no idea about its progress. We shot the pilot episode and I worked on myself to fit the part for around eight months. Luck plays an instrumental role in our profession. I am sure it will happen and when it does, I would delve into it completely.”
