Actor Nalneesh has been a part of many acclaimed films such as Gulabo Sitaboo, Chhichhore, Bhor, III Smoking Barrels and Raees. He has now made his mark as a brilliant actor with his debut in Hollywood production 'The White Tiger' directed by Ramin Bahraini on Netflix. It stars Priyanka Chopra, Rajkummar Rao, Adarsh Gaurav and Mahesh Manjrekar.

Describing his role he says,"I'm essaying the character who is the head of all drivers and assigns work to other drivers. He trains the main protagonist Balram and influences him to learn to dominate others and to become cunning and opportunistic. My character teaches the protagonist Balram Halwai played by Adarsh Gaurav to use his wit and escape from poverty. Mine is a very interesting character who is suffering from Vitligo. I got call from the casting company for the role. I was interested and went for audition. There were 3 rounds of audition, where 2 and 3 round was taken by director Ramin Bahraini. My character is a bit dark and has his own unique attitude and style.”.

Sharing details about his working experience with the director he says, "I have been a great fan of Ramin Bahraini Sir. I believe he has made some truly world class films such as 99 Homes and Chop Shop. He always made me feel comfortable during the shoot. His presence on the sets urged me to deliver the best each and every time. He was very particular about minute details. Since my character has vitiligo disease he sent me to London for the make up and look test. So the make up was done in that way and initially they took 3 to 4 hours for the same during the look test."


Nalneesh is very happy about his debut in Hollywood. "It was a great experience for me to mark my debut in Hollywood. I am thankful to the director as he chose me to play the character that I am essaying. I have always been fond of his films. The best part was he praised my work and said that 'You don't know how much I love you in this film. You enhance the character and the film.' He really inspired me and motivated me in journey of my life. This is my first international project and through this project, I got to learn the difference between working in Hollywood and Bollywood. The best part was all the actors were treated equally and got so much respect and it enhanced my learning," he said.
