"I was shooting an ad with V K Prakash, when he asked me to audition for 'Phir Kabhi', his upcoming film. That's how I landed my first big break," Bajaj told PTI.

Known for his smart-student act in the "Mentos" commercial, Bajaj has done almost 60 commercials till date, the most recent one being a soda ad with the sexy Mallika Sherawat.

"I am most excited about the ad I have shot with Mallika Sherawat. I was taken by surprise as uptill the time I reached the location I was unaware about my co-star. I play Mallika's boyfriend in the ad. She is very intelligent," says the 24-year old Kanpur based actor.

Although he signed 'Phir Kabhi' first, 'Kirkit', which also stars Gulshan Grover and Sayali Bhagat, is Bajaj's first film to be released.

The film is one of the first films to be released after the Bollywood producers strike was called off.
