He was successful in Bollywood. He himself stopped taking roles owing to his CID commitments post 2010. He got some great roles when others like Nawaz were not getting. In facebook chats and posts people remember him as Badshah Khan, Karan of Gulaal, Inspector of Satya, etc. He has stopped doing movies and he won't do a proper until he is there in CID or some out of the world script comes to his way.
Just few months back in an interview in a local Allahabadi newspaper, he said that he has such a contract with Sony for CID that he has to turn down scripts thay come in his way, some even without reading because of the dates issue. On being asked why can't he leave the show for a Bollywoods career, he said that earlier, he found the role fascinating and with different colors and later on, the emotional reasoms could not let him leave it. He added that everyone vouch for stability, professionally and economically. At times, when you have a family you opt for stability over your creative needs and it is difficult to find such a stability in a profession as ours.
He even went on saying that he plans to open a production house and it has been his dream for years but his commitments are not letting him take time out for it and planning at a stretch.
That was a lovely piece of interview. I have never heard him so open in any other.
