He made a conscious decision to not audition for stereotypical Indian roles, although he has been offered such parts. His current role on Heroes is his biggest role yet. Although the character of Mohinder Suresh was originally written for a 55-year old, his audition tape and screen test were convincing enough for writers to rewrite the part for him.
