Sanjay Suri: Back to TV, selective with roles

Sanjay Suri is set to grace television screens once again with the upcoming Colors TV show 'Juhi Mui,' scheduled to premiere on June 29. This marks a significant return to television for the actor after a span of over two decades, with his last television stint being a travel show approximately 30 years prior. His most recent film was Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga,' and before that, he was seen in 'Mili' in 2022.

Suri has openly discussed his deliberate choices in his career, moving away from commercial cinema after his experience in films like 'Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa' around 2000. He noted that such films were heavily hero-centric, leaving little room for actors who weren't the primary lead. He expressed a preference for being a crucial element in a production, likening himself to a 'brick in the wall' whose removal would impact the entire structure.

With a career spanning 27 active years since 1999, Suri acknowledges he may not have blockbuster hits but values his involvement in critically acclaimed films that have endured over time. His career also includes producing and dabbling in short films, alongside his upcoming OTT show. Suri maintains that his career aspirations have never been driven by panic or a need for constant visibility.
