Mumbai, April 29
He made his debut in 1995 with the show "Full Tension." Still, he rose to fame with his work in 'Kohrra', and his popularity skyrocketed after playing the wheelchair-bound, acid-mouthed Brigadier Jahangir in 'Dhurandhar 2'. Actor Suvinder Vicky is currently enjoying every bit of his success, with the memes adding a cherry on top.
Asked how he is taking the meme-fest on Brigadier Jahangir on social media, Suvinder told IANS: "No, we enjoy it. I mean, I've just started, basically, after 22-23, and I'm enjoying it."
He says that the pop culture references and memes feel like an addition to the success he has achieved after years.
"So now, with success, it feels like an addition, something different. I mean, I'm starting to enjoy it more. I'm starting to get a good feeling from within that, okay, people like your character's role," said the actor, who played the father of actor Arjun Rampal's character Major Iqbal.
"They see it as a series, or a film, but when there are different kinds of memes about it, like this one, 'my father is good,' right? So, 'my father is good', that's a different kind of fun. So, it's okay with kids; other than that, it's a bit of a family game."
Talking about Dhurandhar-The Revenge, it stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera and Danish Pandor.
