Shekhar Suman disagrees that Hiramandi marks his comeback
The actor said, “I am basically a theater actor. This is never a return. You’re just waiting for the right role to come your way. There may be a gap, you give it a gap, because the role is going to excite me. I don’t work just to show that I am a part of 10 OTT series, five films.

He further said, “I have learned from Dilip Kumar saab. He used to do a film probably every two-three years. Aamir Khan… they all carry themselves in such a way that people remain thirsty to see them. ”There is no point in wallowing in mediocrity, it is very painful for an actor to realize in the middle of a show or a film that you have made a mistake.
When asked if he felt pressure to come forward to get good work, Shekhar replied in the negative. He further stated that although he has a desire to “be there, to be seen around”, he wanted to do something that would challenge him.
