"I always look for reinventing myself...doing something different and new. I term myself as an entertainer. Be it acting in movies, hosting, singing a song, and dancing. I keep myself from rusting," he added.

On the big screen, Javed did character roles in "Singh Is Kinng", "Salaam Namaste" and "Lafangey Parindey" among others.

"People feel that there is a lead actor and a character actor. This is wrong; every actor is a character. I like playing principal roles; this is why I don't take up too many films," said Javed who has produced two National Award-winning documentaries, "Inshallah, Kashmir" and "Inshallah Football".

"I enjoy acting. I like to be choosy. I like to see what I can bring to the table. I have to see how I can extend that parameter of the character, which I have been given. You have to go beyond that and bring a dimension and contribute. It is important to see how you are different in each film. You have to become the character," he said.

The actor has three films in the pipeline.
