<p>Tahir Raj Bhasin is looking forward to playing the parallel lead opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui in 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz' after his impressive debut in 'Mardaani'.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The actor, who played the smooth talking antagonist Walt in the Yash Raj Films' drama about a cop trying to outwit a human trafficking kingpin, says he wants to continue doing roles that are different.<br /><br />"The major way life has changed now is that I have to keep up with the expectations that 'Mardaani' created. My character was very boy-next-door, normal guy who ran a trafficking business. The role worked because we took a risk. It was very unconventional. I want to keep looking for roles that have an element of surprise," Tahir told PTI in an interview.<br /><br />The 27-year-old actor says he avoided getting into the negative zone again after 'Mardaani' because he feared getting typecast.<br /><br />"This is a positive role but there is depth to my character. If I did a dark, negative role again then people have this misunderstanding that I can only do such roles. It was important to get out of that zone," he said.<br /><br />Tahir says he was chosen for the Siddiqui and Chitrangada Singh-starrer even before 'Mardaani' released.<br /><br />"Kushan Nandy had seen the trailer of 'Mardaani' and he liked the way it was cut. After a week of its release, they contacted me again. It seemed to be the right project after my debut as it is a positive role where I am working with people like Nawaz and Chitrangada and shooting in West Bengal," Tahir said.<br /><br />Tahir, who has attended workshops for the film, says it is a good challenge and right opportunity to learn.<br /><br />"The film is set in a rustic world and is an action drama. Doing a parallel lead opposite Nawaz in your second film is a big deal. I enjoy challenges on the set. I can learn so much from Nawaz. It is very motivating to work with him," he said. <br /></p>
