The actor, who will feature in the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer, says director Ali Abbas Zafar asked him to just focus on his character and not go overboard with too much preparation.
On working with Salman and Katrina in the film, Angad told PTI, "Working in 'Pink' helped me, there was an acceptance in the industry that at least I can act. My main nervousness was how to find the tone of my character."
The 34-year-old actor has worked in films like "Faltu" and "Ungli" before gaining recognition for his negative character in the National Award-winning film, "Pink".
Angad considers it a "good fortune" to bag a film with Salman after having worked with Amitabh Bachchan in "Pink", and says the "Dabangg" star has the quality to make everyone comfortable around him.

"Tiger Zinda Hai" is a sequel to the 2012 blockbuster "Ek Tha Tiger". Angad says the film will be "real, gritty and raw."
For the film, scheduled to release around Christmas this year, Angad has been training extensively to perform the action sequences.
"He is an extremely alert individual who is very different from my character in 'Pink' - there was this arrogance in him. Not in this character. He is trying to do something for the nation," he says.
"I am training heavily for the action. It has been only 25 days now and we have another 45 to go. There is very good action in the film. The way we are doing it, I feel we are shooting a Hollywood film," says Angad.
