Career

The Pakistani police man's role in the super hit movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Kahan brought him a new identity in Bollywood industry.[7] Bakshi has worked with seasoned actors like Govinda, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and all the Khans.

He also appeared in the movie Panipat as a very controversial character Maharaja Surajmal. It was a short role of Hindu Jat ruler of Bharatpur in Rajasthan, India. In the film, Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau (a character played by Arjun Kapoor) asks Maharaja Surajmal for help to defeat the Afghans, but he demands the Agra Fort in return. As his demand remained unfulfilled, he refused to help Sadashiv.[8][9]
