He began his career in 2006 with the film Bhalobasha Bhalobasha. Since then he has appeared in the films Nagar Mastan opposite Pori Moni and Dabangg. He was cast in Antor Jala (2017) due to director Malek Afsary's preference for him as an actor.[3] He was the former general secretary of Bangladesh Film Artists' Association, the organisation of local film artists.[4][5][6]
