Actor Santosh Shukla has become the new topic after his stint in 6th season of controversial reality show Bigg Boss. Host Salman Khan was extremely bemused  with  Santosh, so he offered him 'Jai Ho' within three days after he was evicted from the reality show.
 
"I was on cloud nine when Salman Bhai said he want to cast me in his film. He and Sohail bhai feel Bollywood lacks a stylish villain and that this spot will be filled by me," said Santosh.

Before Bigg Boss Santosh was mostly seen in mythological shows. To ensure that his action movements look genuine he had gone for a lots of training for more than 2 months. Santosh said, "Before shooting, I did loads of preparations as I never played full on stylish-dhasu-villain. It’s a role of a life time so I had to put forth my best to do justice to the role. I took up the role as a challenge and did get a lot of help from Salman and Sohail Bhai to get into the skin of Villian. I feel lucky to have got a chance to play such a fabulous character.”

Though the actor remained tight-lipped about his other projects, his publicist 'K Himaanshu Shukla', confirmed that he has been approached by couple of A-listed filmmakers including Tigmanshu Dhulia.
