Almost a decade after he made his industry debut, Akshay Oberoi says he's finally getting roles that carry merit. Apart from Susi Ganeshan's next, he will be seen in Subhash Kapoor's political drama, Madamji. "Subhash has been a political journalist, so any conversation with him is a learning experience. He is objective, and doesn't project his affiliations on the script, or the actor," says Oberoi of the film that also stars Richa Chadha and Saurabh Shukla.

Even though he isn't drawn to the subject of politics, Oberoi draws parallels between the field and Bollywood. "Both industries are based on hierarchy. So I was able to internalise my character on that principle."
