From an engineering aspirant to science graduate to theatrics enthusiast to a Bollywood actor; Zeeshan Ayyub has had quite a journey before entering Bollywood and is yet to create a big name in Bollywood industry. Zeeshan, who last appeared in Mission Mangal will feature as the main antagonist alongside Rajkummar Rao and Nusrat Bharucha in his next film Turram Khan.

"There is a lack of imagination in our industry," says Zeeshan Ayyub

Zeeshan Ayyub mentioned in an interview, "I have always got love and acceptance from both the industry and the audience. I am not underrated as an actor. I do get respect. But I hope to get more different kind of roles. I do feel there is a lack of imagination in our industry. What has worked in an actor's favour, mostly that kind of roles are only offered to them. I get less author-backed roles," (Source: PTI).
