After a slow start, the 32-year-old actor now has many projects in his kitty like Shoojit Sircar's "Runningshaadi.Com", Sonakshi Sinha-starrer "Akira" and friendship drama "Yaara" by director Tigmanshu Dhulia.
"I don't believe in godfather. I believe that I have a God. But, having said that, you need people who guide you, who can teach you and I have been very lucky... Subhash sir has played a great role in making me grow as an actor," Amit, who was seen in "Guddu Rangeela", told PTI.
"There is no doubt that it is difficult for people who come from outside. But doors keep opening with time. I believe if you have talent doors will open for you," he said.
The actor hopes to hit the right cord as a bumbling criminal Guddu in his latest release "Guddu Rangeela", set in Haryana.
