His Gujarati plays include ''Hatheli Par BaadBaaki'', ''Patro Mitro'', ''Mulraj Mansion'' and ''Andhalo Pato''. He acted in a Hindi play, ''Uncle Samjha Karo'' and in English theatre ''Going Solo 2''. He ventured into the new age mainstream [[Gujarati cinema]] with the [[Dhwani Gautam|Abhishek Jain]]-directed Bey Yaar, released in 2014.

His company Leela Theatres has coproduced an English Play, ''Salt & Pepper'', starring him, Mandira Bedi, Kuki Grewal and Vikram Kochar, written and directed by Vikranth Pawar, and produced the English comedy ''Your Place Or Mine?'' and Gujarati double bill ''Ramesh Aakhi Raat'', comprising two one-act plays based on Ramesh Parekh's writings.

[[Feroz Abbas Khan]] (director of ''Gandhi, My Father'' and a veteran theatre personality) had approached him for Gandhi's role in his famous play ''Mahatma v/s Gandhi''. But due to date problems, the actor had to let go of the project. However, Feroz was bent on casting him as Gandhi and again approached him for ''Gandhi, My Father'', which finally materialized.<ref name="toi" />
