He was then seen in films like "Mohenjo Daro", "Bhoomi", "Housefull 4" and "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior".
Talking about being loved for portraying character with shades, Sharad told IANS: "It feels nice. I played a negative guy. I was the blue-eyed boy for every household for around four years. To change that image and become a grey-shade guy in films -- the acceptance was a question mark. Would people accept me as a negative guy? But they accepted me. I played some positive roles also, and there too was a fear and question marks arose. But people accepted me and praised me."
Sharad says the audience's love keeps him motivated: "I don't think as a grey shade guy or a positive guy. The most important thing which I am happy about is people accepting me as an actor. That is the biggest compliment for me. That is one hing that keeps me going."

"Bhuj: The Pride Of India" tells the tale of Indian Air Force pilot Vijay Karnik.

The women came together to rebuild and repair the only runway in Bhuj, which was crucial for the war.
